Prior, ''Pop. names''</supref> anglais.*''cuckoo, cuckoo bread, cuckoo flower, cuckoo spit <supref>In the north of England the plant is known only by the name of ''cuckoo-spit'', the rather inelegant 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 have a superstition that is unlucky to do so, and will tell you with the gravest countenance that the cuckoo has spit upon it while flying over. — Journal of Horticulture, May 4, 1876 (2p. 355).
