Avena strigosa Schreb. BRISTLE-POINTED OAT. MEAGRE OAT. Europe. Pickering [1] says this plant is of the Tauro-Caspian countries; it was first observed in. Germany in 1771 [2] by Retz [3] in Sweden in 1779; and the same year by Withering [4] in Britain. Lindley [5] says it is found wild in abundance in grain fields all over Europe. The smallness of the grain renders this oat unfit for cultivation except on poor, mountainous places, where nothing better may be had. The Germans, however, have much improved it.
