The genus is represented in Britain by the fritillary or snake's head, which occurs in moist meadows in the southern half of England, especially in Oxfordshire.
It flowers in April or early in May. There are a few named varieties, but the most generally grown are the single and double yellow, and the single and double red,the single red having also two variegated varieties, with the leaves striped respectively with white and yellow.
"Fritillary" is also the name of a kind of butterfly.
Populations of marsh fritillary vary greatly in size from year to year, and, at least in part, this is related to cycles of attack from parasitic wasps.
A large and relatively isolated population of marsh fritillary Euphydryas aurinia is present on a series of damp pastures and heaths in Gwent, representing the species on the eastern edge of its range in Wales.
The area is particularly notable as one of the longest-established colonies of the marsh fritillary butterfly Euphydryas aurinia in Northern Ireland.
