This plant grows to a height of from 1 to 3 feet, is much branched, and profusely covered with leaves. It is found wild in S. Europe, Asia Minor, Egypt, Arabia, N.W. India, and Siberia. It is the Πήγανον ἄγριον (wild rue) of Dioscorides, Πήγανον being the name still applied in Greece to several species of Ruta.
