Colonist. Agi-estal. Established in the counties of 

 Ouse ; and likely to become so in the Thames province 

 also. In other parts of England, it is little more than a 

 casual straggler, which acquires no permanent habitat. Mr. 

 Lees asserted that he found it " truly wild on the sandy 

 shores of Swansea bay;" and yet Mr. Flower could not see 

 it there at all. Though it has apparently kept its hold of 

 the gromid in Cambridgeshire, from the time of Dillenius, 

 it has yet spread so little about England, that the term of 

 ' alien ' might still apply to it, in preference over that of 

 * colonist.' But in the case of agiicultural weeds, which 

 are so liable to immigrate into all countries, some loose- 

 ness may be allowed in the application of my series of 

 tenns ; or, rather, the signification of the word ' colonist ' 

 may be understood to range from an established alien to a 

 scarcely doubtftil native, if weeds of " cultivated land."
