Podolia. S. betonicaefolia, Ettling, salv. 49. S. Cremenecen- 

 sis, Bess. enum. pi. volh. p. 40. This species differs from S-. 

 nutans in the stem being leafy, in the leaves being narrower, and 

 on shorter petioles, the racemes few, elongated, and loose, and 

 the flowers larger, &c. Corollas violaceous, larger than those 

 of S. syltestrit. 



Pendulous-racemed Sage. PI. 1 to 2 feet. ? 



75 S. NC'TAXS (Lin. spec. p. 39.) stem pubescent, nearly 

 naked ; leaves all radical, or nearly so, on long petioles, ovate- 

 oblong, doubly crenated, sub-cordate at the base, wrinkled ; 

 floral leaves orbicular ; racemes short, on long peduncles, pani- 

 cled, drooping at the time of flowering ; whorls about 6-flower- 

 ed, approximate ; calyxes reflexed, pubescent ; corolla twice as

 tive of the East of Europe, Podolia, and Galicia, Hungary, 

 and Transylvania, Siberia, Tauria, and Caucasus, &c. Waldst. et

 stems erect, almost simple, pilose ; radical leaves petiolate, ob- 

 long-ovate, obtuse, crenated, or a little cut, cordate at the base, 

 bullately wrinkled, glabrous above, but the petioles and nerves 

 are pilose beneath ; cauline leaves few, sessile : upper ones 

 lanceolate, acuminated : floral leaves cordate-ovate, shorter than 

 the calyxes, a little reflexed ; racemes clammy, nearly simple ; 

 calyxes nearly sessile, campanulate, clothed with clammy villi ;

 calyx, li. H. Native of the South of Europe, as of Portu- 

 gal, and Italy. S. Lusitanica, Poir. diet. 6. p. 606. but not of 

 Jacq. S. elongata, Spreng. pug. pi. min. cogn. 1. p. 43. S. 

 bullata, Schousb. ex Vahl. enum. 1. p. 265. This species 

 differs from S. pratentis in the flowers being smaller. Habit 

 of S. clandestina, but the leaves are very distinct. Corollas 

 violaceous. 



Clary-like Sage. Fl. July, Aug. Clt. 1804. PI. 1 to 2 

 feet. 



77 S. KUDICAU'LIS (Vahl, enum. 1. p. 266.) stems erect, nearly 

 naked, clothed with hoary villi ; leaves all radical, or nearly so, 

 petiolate, oblong-linear, or lanceolate, acute, erosely toothed, 

 somewhat cordate at the base, bullately wrinkled, glabrous

 nent ; racemes simple, or branched : whorls 6-flowered, dis-

 clammy villi ; corolla about twice as long as the calyx. If. H. 

 Native of Arabia. S. Abyssinica, Lin. fil. suppl. p. 88. ? but 

 not of other authors. S. Merjamie, Forsk. fl. arab. p. 10. 

 Nearly allied to S. bullata, but differs in the narrower, more 

 wrinkled, erosely toothed leaves. 



\aked-stemmed Sage. PI. 1 to 2 feet. ? 



78 S. VERBESA'CA (Lin. spec. p. 35.) stem erect, pubescent, 

 or villous ; leaves broad-ovate, or oblong, crenated, wrinkled, 

 glabrous : lower ones on long petioles, narrowed at the base : 

 superior ones broader, sessile, cordate at the base ; floral leaves 

 ovate-roundish, acuminated, villous, permanent, rather shorter 

 than the calyxes, reflexed after florescence ; racemes elongated, 

 simple, or a little branched ; whorls remote, about 6-flowered ; 



calyx ovate, hairy ; corolla one-half longer than the calyx, the 

 tube equalling the calyx. 1^. H. Native of North and middle 

 Europe ; as of Britain, North of France, Sweden, Denmark, 

 Germany, Italy, European Russia, about Constantinople, Tauria, 

 and Caucasus, &c. Smith, engl. bot. t. 154. Curt. lond. 6. t.

 Vahl. S. horminoides, Pourr. act. toul. 3. p. 327. S. Bysan- 

 tina, and S. heterophylla, Hortul. Horminum verbenaceum, 

 Mill. diet. no. 1. Mor. hist. sect. 11. t. 14. f. 33. Leaves 

 3-4 inches long, 1-2 broad. Corollas blue, rarely white, size of 

 those of S. Horminum. The herb and flowers prove very aro- 

 matic when rubbed. The seeds produce a great quantity of 

 mucilage when moistened, whence they become serviceable for 

 removing extraneous matter from the eyes. If put under the 

 eye-lashes for a few moments the tears dissolve their mucilage, 

 which envelopes any sand or dust, and brings it out. Hence 

 some old authors has called the plant Oculus christi, and others 

 of our own country have derived our English name Clary from 

 the same circumstance. 



Var. ft, oblong ijolia (Benth. lab. p. 240.) leaves oblong, cre- 

 nated, hardly cut. Ti. H. Cultivated in gardens. S. oblon- 

 gata, Vahl, enum. 1. p. 256. S. betonicaefolia, Lam. ill. 1. p. 

 70. but not of Ettling. 



Var. y, ? inclsa (Benth. 1. c.) leaves broad-ovate, cut : lobes 

 ovate, acute, approximate. If. H. Native of France, about 

 Toulouse. This is probably a variety of S. clandestina.

 long, deeply toothed, or pinnatifid, wrinkled, glabrous : lower 

 ones petiolate, narrowed at the base, truncate, or sub-cordate ;

 very nearly allied to S. cerbenaca, but is always much smaller,

 and more deeply cut.
