Native. Agi-estal, Viatical. A common weed in the 

 South of England ; much less so in the North ; rare in 

 Scotland. Enumerated among the Forfarshire plants by 

 Don, but not confirmed by any more recent authority in 

 Gardiner's Flora of that county. Omitted from the lists 

 for all the more northerly counties, with the two suspicious 

 exceptions of those for Orkney (Lowe) and Shetland 

 (Edmondston) ; and in these Isles, unless there be some 

 en-or about the species, we may fairly assume the plant an 

 introduced one, especially as only a single locality is men- 

 tioned by Edmondston. Said to be rare about Edinburgh ; 

 absent from the neighbourhood of Berwick-on-Tweed.
