folk-names for this plant include Fighting Cocks and Kemps
(from the Latin cempa for 'warrior'). These names
probably derive from the games children played with Plantain
flowers. They can be used in a conker-like game and also
in a game where the flower heads are flicked long distances
off of their stalks.
