" Held by Mr. Watson to be very much of an Alien 

 throughout Britain, its native stations — stony hills— in 

 the Belgian coal-field are very similar to those about 

 Halifax, indicated above ... To be erratic in their 

 appearances and disappearances is, however, somewhat 

 a characteristic of all the Mulleins in indigenous areas, 

 with always a tendency towards springing up most plen- 

 tifully in soil newly turned, or thrown up from a depth."
