1847 H. C. Watson Cybele Britannica I. 125 Though more an agrestal plant than aught else, this occurs on banks and pasture ground in clayey soil.

1870 Trans. & Proc. N.Z. Inst. 1869 2 134 It [sc. Papaver rhoeas] may, however, be expected to occur commonly as an agrestal plant.

1908 Gardeners’ Chron. 5 Dec. 397/1 It [sc. a primula] is easily grown and propagated—as indeed one might expect to be the case with an agrestal plant such as this is.

1926 G. C. Druce in J. J. Walker Nat. Hist. Oxf. Distr. 117 Closely allied to the Agrestal are the Ruderal species.
