Though never hitherto figured in the Borantoan Macazing, 
this noble hardy perennial has been long cultivated in 
England, having been introduced by Philip Miller in 1731 
from the Levant, and described in the first edition of 
Miller’s Gardener’s Dictionary as “The Eastern Jerusalem 
Sage with jagged leaves.” It is the easternmost repre- 
sentative of a genus that extends into Siberia, Affghanistan, 
and Central Asia, but it has itself a narrow distributional 
area, being confined to the southern Caucasian region on 
the north, reappearing in the Levant, where it occurs 
throughout the length of Syria and Palestine, and extends 
a little way westward into the ancient Cilicia (the modern 
Adania). 
Our plant flowered in the Royal Gardens in June of last 
year, and presented a very striking appearance. 
Descr. A stately herbaceous perennial. Stem one to 
Apzit lst, 1889.
