The Arum maculatum is "devil's ladies and gentlemen," and the Ranunculus arvensis is the "devil on both sides."

The flowers of the Arum maculatum are "bulls and cows;" and in Yorkshire the fruit of Crataegus oxyacantha is bull-horns;an old name for the horse-leek being bullock's-eye.

In Gloucestershire the fruit of the Arum maculatum is snake's-victuals, and snake's-head is a common name for thefritillary.

(the so-called Portland sago, Portland Island arrowroot, is prepared from the swollen stems of Arum maculatum).
