 any other.

The Apple is commonly cultivated in North China, but whether 

 it is anywhere wild is uncertain. Hooker regards it as wild in 

 North-west India and westward to the Mediterranean region, 

 and A. DeCandolle (Orig. PI. Cult. p. 188) is of opinion that it 

 existed in a wild state in Europe in prehistoric times.
