This small plant grows on old walls and that is the reason for the Latin
name "parietaria".
Use It is used to make infusions and because of its diuretic properties,
it was believed it could destroy renal calculi and bladder-stones.
Its leaves and stems can be used to cook minestrone giving it an intense
green colour.
