Help please with final exasperation!! Is this snake's body part forked? (6,6) Thanks to ace bt for Fines Herbes, I've adopted it for a (5,5) answer by dropping the last "e"
That's why I put the question mark ! Chamber's says:
a genus of ferns (Ophioglossum)whose spores grow on a spike resembling a snake's tongue: dog's tooth violet.
Botany is not my strong point, but 'ordinary' violet is a flavouring, as in violet creams - soft centred chocolates.
