Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 It kind of looks like Rue- Ruta graveolens, herb of grace But it would help to know How big plant grows? Semi-evergreen? how big is the leaf ? what colors flowers are ? and a picture with a ruler in it so we can see size?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Suzi This does NOT look like Ruta graveolens to me..... the leaves are too elongated and Rue's leaves are more numerous. Really need to have more info on this plant.... growing location/environment, size, flower/berry/seed colors, annual,biennial/perennial, etc. mjh herbal remedies, Suzanne Nottmeier <suziesgoats> wrote: > > Can anyone identify this herb (see attachment).... my friend says she thinks it's called que or q or cue > > If we can identify it we will know what it is used for..... it was one of many herbs planted where she is living....

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 I couldn't tell the color, and I think I missed a description of the plant but it looks more like boxwood or even barberry to me. Can we get a more detailed description (incase it wasn't given the first time?) - mjhampstead herbal remedies Tuesday, October 29, 2002 5:16 PM [herbal remedies] Re: Identify this herb Suzi This does NOT look like Ruta graveolens to me..... the leaves are too elongated and Rue's leaves are more numerous.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 OK The plant grows 1 to 2 feet. It has very small "goldenrod type" flowers - sort of like a bunch of small flowers grouped together.... Does this help? She said the flowers are tiny but remind her of goldenrod.
