I believe the answer is:
sparse
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">widely scattered</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for sparse that I've seen before include "In short supply" , "Meagre, thin on the ground" , "Thinly dotted about" , "Infrequent" , "Thinly scattered, not dense" .)
