Admitted as indigenous in the Flora of Cork, and Mr. 

 CarroU also considers that it seems wild, and the station at 

 Finglass quarries appears "wild" enough at present; but 

 considering that the plant never occurs far from houses and 

 cultivation, it seems safer to consider it as probably 

 naturalized. When once introduced as a field crop, it seems 

 to take in many places a permanent hold of the ground if 

 the seed is allowed to ripen.
