Native. Agrestal. Although this pretty weed is ex- 

 tended over a wide range of latitude, it decreases so much 

 in abundance in Scotland, comparatively with the southern 

 provinces of England, as to approximate very closely to- 

 wards plants of the English type of distribution. And since 

 our northern botanists appear to hold it scarcely native be- 

 yond the Grampians, if even truly so beyond the estuary of 

 the Tay, it can barely be deemed an inhabitant of the super- 

 agrarian zone. Possibly 60 might prove a more correct 

 county estimate than 70, which is taken above.
