Wikipedia description:
Ruta (commonly known as rue) is a genus of strongly scented evergreen subshrubs, 20–60 cm (8–24 in) tall, in the family Rutaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, Macaronesia and southwest Asia. About ten species are accepted in the genus. The most well-known species is Ruta graveolens (rue or common rue). The leaves are bipinnate or tripinnate, with a feathery appearance, and green to strongly glaucous blue-green in colour. The flowers are yellow, with 4–5 petals, about 1 cm (1⁄2 in) across, and borne in cymes. The fruit is a 4–5-lobed capsule, containing numerous seeds.
