(1) From the resemblance of its wliite flowers to little smocks hung out to dry. Prior, 
Pop. liâmes 
(2) In lhe north of England the plant is knovvn only by thc name of cuekoo-spit, the 
rather inélégant cognomen being gained, no doubt, from the fact of almost every flower- 
stem having deposited upon it a frothy patch much ressembling the human saliva, in which 
is enveloped a pale green insect. Few north-country children will gather these flowers; 
they hâve a superstition that is unlucky to do so, and will tell you with the gravest counte- 
nance that the cuckoo lias spit upon it whilc flying over. — Journal of Horticulture, May 4, 
1870 (p. 355). Britten, Plant-names.
