This fine plant is more frequent in the north of the 
county than in the south ; it seldom occurs in quantity, and 
rarely far away from houses or ruins. It was formerly in 
use for medicinal purposes, and although it appears to be 
native in both western France and Spain, it is no doubs 
only a survival of cultivation in the stations given above.
