90. Hulless or naked oats (Avena nuda, Linn.). The 

 hulless oats appear to have come from central and eastern 

 Asia, where they are at present more abundant than 

 in any other area, though it is written that a variety 

 was grown in England in the middle of the sixteenth cen-

 classification is uncertain. The forms of panicle of both 

 the sativa and orientalis subspecies occur in hulless
