  Rue
     a garden herb (Ruta graveolens) which the Pharisees were careful
     to tithe (Luke 11:42), neglecting weightier matters. It is
     omitted in the parallel passage of Matt. 23:23. There are
     several species growing wild in Palestine. It is used for
     medicinal and culinary purposes. It has a powerful scent, and is
     a stimulant. (See MINT.)
