  1. The native alfalfa is taken from the twenty-year-old fields near Ultuna near Upsala, Sweden about 60 degrees north latitude. Possibly there is some Medicago falcata mixed with it as both are found in the vicinity. A promising forage plant for cold, rather moist, climates. The Siberian form of Medicago falcata is much more promising for cold, dry climates.
