633 The American Naturalist. Uuy, 
Satureja montana L. 
A species known to the earlier botanists, and probably known 
to the ancient culture, although I do not find it identified with 
any certainty. It is mentioned in Turner's Herbal in 1562, and 
this is as far back as we have printed registers; but there can be 
little doubt but that this, with the summer savory, was much cul- 
tivated in far earlier times in England.” It was in American 
gardens in 1806.9 The uses are the same with the preceding 
species. 
Winter Savory is called in France, sarriette vivace, sarriette des 
montagnes; in Germany, winter bohnen-oder pfefferkraut; in 
Spain, hisopielo® 
Satureja capitata L. 
This species is omitted from our most modern books on gar- 
dening, although recorded in American gardens as late as 1863.” 
It is mentioned as under culture in many of the early works on 
botany and gardening. 
Headed Savory is called in France, thim de Crete. 
Satureja viminea L. 
A native of Jamaica, and introduced in Britain in 1783, and 
has two varieties. It was recorded by Burr in 1863, as in 
American gardens, but as little used. It is said to be much used 
for seasoning in its native country. It is not now recorded as in 
European cultivation. 
Satureja juliana L. 
This Savory is mentioned by Gerade, in 1597, as sown in gar- 
dens. It is a native of the Mediterranean countries, called in 
Greece, ussopo, in Egyptian, pesalen.* Its name has disappeared 
from our seed catalogues.
