Big Botany: Conversations with the Plant World

The healing plant Ruta graveolens, also known as rue and herb of grace, is used as a stimulant and antispasmodic. It is also used to treat hysteria, excessive coughing, digestive issues, and headaches. The catastrophic background image shows the crater that was caused by a nickel-iron meteor in the Arizona desert more than 50,000 years ago.
