Salvia, Linn. From salvo, to save; in allusion to 
the healing qualities of the sage. Linn. 2, Or. 1, 
Nat. Or. Labiates. This is a very extensive genus, 
consisting chiefly of extremely showy flowering 
plants, well worthy of cultivation. They are 
easily grown in a rich light soil. The shrubby 
kinds increase freely by cuttings of the young 
wood, under a glass ; those of the stove species 
must be placed in heat ; the herbaceous kinds 
must be multiplied by division of the roots. The 
seeds of the annual and biennial kinds simply 
require to be sown in the open ground where they 
are intended to bloom. The common sage. Salvia 
officinalis, is a well known culinary herb. Syno-

in any soil or situation. The shrubby species are 
increased by cuttings; the herbaceous species by 
divisions. The wot^ of the Elder is remarkable 
for its hardness ; and various kinds of medicine are 
obtained from the different species, but more espe- 
cially from S. nigra. Synonymes : 1. S. nigra
