The hyssop, a plant native to South America, was introduced in China. Since it was brought to China in the early 1900s, it has begun to multiply like crayfish. The hyssop seed is a far cry from other plants because it essentially has no dormancy period, meaning that it can germinate and grow quickly and even reproduce for several generations in a single season as long as it meets the right environment. It is very difficult to clear these huge plants, which is why they can be found everywhere in rural fields, rivers, roadsides and jungles. Once they are present in farmlands, they become a very troublesome presence as they absorb nutrients from the soil and impede the growth of crops such as wheat, maize and cotton. It is also difficult to clean up, so they were once hated by farmers.
