It seems that it is introduced through exotic plants commerce and often distributed in the gardens, especially in the ornamental plants nurseries. Since ornamental plants imports started in a large scale in Iran less than 50 years ago. It is a small and herbaceous plant and is easily recognized by its very small flowers in axillary cymes on the branches and leaves thin and fragile produced on lateral shoots which resembling a compound leaves.
