The first mention of this plant dates back to the XVIII century. Dr. Peter I
discovered and examined this plant. And in 1761, one of the botanical works of the
great Linnaeus 'The mysterious plant saltpeter explained' was first published in
Russia. The plant has a hypotensive, antispasmodic and sedative effect. This plant is
