(2) Correspondents in several different parts 
of Somerset give this as a local name for the 
Campion. See CaATcH FLy. 
(3) Miss Audrey Vivian, of Trowbridge, gives 
it as a name commonly used in that district for 
the Wild Arum or Cuckoo-pint, Arum maculatum. 
(4) Miss Elia Ford, of Melplash (Dorset) gives 
this as a local name for the Butterwort, Pin- 
guicula vulgaris. 
(5) A correspondent at Dunkerton gives it 
as a local name for the Orchis, without indicating 
the species: probably the Fly Orchis, Ophrys 
muscifera, whilst two correspondents at Uplyme 
inform me the name is in that district given to 
the Bee Orchis, Ophrys apifera. Dr. Watson 
writes: —Some confusion here probably. Il 
suspect that the Fly Oxchid is intended in both 
cases. The likeness of the flower to a fly has 
caused the name to be mis-applied. 
FLYING ANGELS. Mr. F. R. Summerhayes, of 
Milborne Port, gives me this as a North Somerset 
name for the seeds of the Sycamore. See FLY 
ANGELS. 
FLYING DUTCHMEN. The winged seeds of 
the Ash, Maple, and Sycamore (Stowey, near 
Clutton). 
Fry Trap. Sundew, Drosera (Horton). 
Foau’s Foot. An old country name for the 
Colt’s-foot, Tussilago Farfara. 
Foc. The long grass in pastures which the 
cattle refuse. This is FoG while green, and BENT 
or BONNET when dry (F. T. Elworthy). Old, 
withered, or spoilt grass (Rev. W. P. Williams). 
Foc Grass. Coarse, sedgy grass such as grows 
in wet places. The distinction is kept between 
Foc and Foe Grass (F. T. Elworthy). 
Foc Wort. Correspondents at Wambrook 
and Wimborne give me this as a name for the 
Lesser Celandine, Ranunculus Ficaria. 
FoLK’s Guove. This is sent me from all 
parts of the district as a popular name for the 
Foxglove, Digitalis purpurea. It is generally 
stated that the original form of the name was 
FOLK’s GLOVE, i.e. Fairies’ Glove, but not all 
etymologists are prepared to accept this as the 
derivation. 
FoLiy’s FLOWER. Several correspondents at 
Stalbridge and Stoke Wake (Dorset) send me 
this as a local name for the Columbine, Aquilegia. 
Foou’s Cap. A correspondent at Everereech 
gives me this as a local name for the Woody 
Nightshade or Bittersweet, Solanum Dulcamara. 
Probably owing to the kind of peak formed by 
the more or less conjoint stamens.
