Alma-Ata, Izd-vo Akademii nauk Kazakhskoi SSR.〕〔Malyschev L.I. & Peschkova , G.A. (eds.) (2001). Flora of Siberia 4: 1-238. Scientific Publishers, Inc., Enfield, Plymouth.〕〔(Altervista Flora Italiana, genere Fritillaria )〕 Its common names include snake's head fritillary, snake's head (the original English name), chess flower, frog-cup, guinea-hen flower, guinea flower, leper lily (because its shape resembled the bell once carried by lepers), Lazarus bell, chequered lily, chequered daffodil, drooping tulip or, in northern Europe, simply fritillary.〔(BBC Nature )〕
==Etymology==
The name ''Fritillaria'' comes from the Latin ''fritillus'' meaning dice-box, possibly referring to the chequered pattern on the flowers although this derivation has been disputed.〔http://www.thepoisongarden.co.uk/atoz/fritillaria.htm〕 The name ''meleagris'' means "spotted like a guineafowl". The common name "snake's head" probably refers to the somewhat snakelike appearance of the nodding flower heads on their long stems. Vita Sackville-West called it "a sinister little flower, in the mournful colour of decay".〔
