and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
genus consists of her];s or under-shrubs, the leaves of which have generally a rugose appearance, the smell aro- 
matic, and the flowers commonly in spikes, two or three together from a bracte or leaf They are all of easy 
culture, and some of them are ornamental as greenhouse plants or border flowers. The Horminum, Salvia, and 
Sclarea of Tournefort are included in this genus. The Sclarea or clary is derived from o-y^k-^o;, stiff, and Hormi- 
num from oifxaoj, quod ad venerem stimulat. Of S. officinalis there are many varieties, differing in the size, 
form, and color of the leaves. It was formerly in groat repute in medicine as a sudorific, aromatic, astringent, 
and antiseptic. The Chinese use it as a tonic for debility of the stomach, and strengthening the nervous sys- 
tem, and prefer it for these purposes to their own tea. It is, however, discarded from our pharmacopeise, but 
still used by self-practitioners and herb doctors. In cookery it is used for sauces and stuffings for luscious meats. 
S. grandiflora is preferred for making tea. S. pomifcra produces protuberances as big as oak galls, occasioned 
like them, by the puncture of an insect. In the isle of Crete, S. officinalis has the same sort of excrescences, and 
they carry them to market there under the name of sage-apples. S. verbenaca is a native of all the four con- 
tinents, and very aromatic. A mucilage is produced from its seeds, which, put under the eyelids for a few 
moments, envelopes any sand or dust there, and brings it out ; and hence the name of ofiicinalis christi, clear
