LABIATZE. XXIX. Sarv. XXX. 
Cult. Many of the species of Sálvia are very showy when 
in blossom, particularly most of those species belonging to sec- 
tions Horminum, Evisphace, and Calósphace, & 7, Longiflore. 
Most of them thrive in a rich, light soil. The shrubby kinds 
are readily increased by young cuttings, under a hand-glass ; 
those of the stove species in heat; the herbaceous perennial 
kinds by dividing at the root. The seeds of the annual and 
biennial kinds only require to be sown in the open border 
where they are intended to remain.

Cult. The species will grow in common garden soil, and will 
be readily increased by cuttings and seeds. Being rather ten- 
der, they will require some shelter in winter.

Lin. syst. Diándria, Monogijnia. Calyx ovate-campanulate, 
bilabiate ; upper lip entire; lower lip bifid ; throat naked in- 
side. Corolla with an exserted tube, glabrous inside; throat a 
little inflated ; limb bilabiate ; lips nearly equal : upper lip erect, 
emarginate: lower lip spreading trifid: lateral lobes oblong, 
erect, twisted a little: middle lobe, large, concave, dependent. 
Stamens 2, ascending, exserted from the superior lip, without any 
rudiments of upper ones; filaments inserted in the throat of 
the corollas, shortly-toothed near the base ; anthers linear, 
somewhat 2-celled, with connate margins, and divaricate-conflu- 
ent cells. Upper lobe of style very short; stigmas minute, ter- 
minal, Achenia dry, smooth. A South European shrub, with 
the calyx of Sálvia and Audibértia, and corolla and stamina of

probably an appendage analogous to those of O'cymum and Phlo- 
mis.

R. latifolià, Mill. dict. no. 2.—Riv. mon. irr. t. 39.—Blackw. 
icon. 159.—Sabb. hort. rom. 3. t. 67. A densely-branched and 
densely-leafy shrub. Leaves sessile, linear, entire, with revolute 
margins, canescent beneath. Flowers disposed in short axillary 
racemes, few, approximate, almost sessile. Calyx purplish. Co- 
rollas white, or pale blueish-purple. Rosemary has a fragrant 
smell and a bitter, pungent taste. The leaves and tops are 
strongest in their sensible qualities ; the flowers ought not to be 
separated from their calyxes, the active matter residing princi- 
pally, if not wholly, in the latter. Rosemary yields its qualities 
completely to rectified spirit, but only partially to water. The 
leaves and tops distilled with water yield a thin, light, pale, essen- 
tial oil, of great fragrancy, though not quite so agreeable as the 
rosemary itself, From one hundred pounds of the herb in flower 
eight ounces of oil have been obtained. The virtues of rose- 
mary depend entirely on its essential oil, which seems to be 
combined with camphor, not only from its peculiar taste, but
