Native. Glareal, &c. Distributed over the country by 

 agricultural sowing ; and spread by nature in its narrow- 

 leaved form, pretty frequently, and almost as widely. 

 Mr. Edmondston deemed it not really native in Shetland ; 

 and for Orkney, we have only the authority of Lowe's 

 list ; but Balfour and Babington apparently considered it 

 native in the Hebrides. I saw the V. sativa at Dalnacar- 

 doch, 350 yards in elevation, probably introduced. V. 

 angustifolia extends northwards to Moray ; and it is re- 

 ported from all the provinces southward of the Highlands.
