The leaves of M. didyma are sometimes used as tea in North America; its flowers are of a very brilliant scarlet. 61. Rosmarinus. Two Latin words signifying dew of the sea. The shrub grows in the southern parts of Europe in the vicinity of the sea. R. officinalis yields, by distillation, a light-pale essential oil of great fragrance, which is imparted to rectified spirit. It was formerly recommended for strengthening the nervous system, headaches, &c. as well as to strengthen the memory. Hence the allusion of the poet, "there's rosemary, that's for remembrance." Rue in former times signified grace; and rosemary, repentance. Rosemary was considered as an emblem of fidelity in lovers; it was worn at weddings and funerals, and on the latter occasions is still in some parts of Wales distributed among the company, who throw the sprigs in the grave along with the corpse. It is the principal ingredient in Hungary water, and is drunk as tea for headaches, and by nervous persons. It prefers a lean dry soil, or rubbish of old buildings; and when it has established itself on a wall, will resist the greatest cold of our winters. Its introduction is beyond record, and was probably by the monks in the dark ages. 62. Salvia. From salvere, to save, on account of its supposed healing qualities.

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 σκληρoς, stiff, and Horminum from ὁεμaω, 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 great 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 system, and prefer it for these purposes to their own tea. It is, however, discarded from our pharmacopeiæ, but still used by selfpractitioners and herb doctors. In cookery it is used for sauces and stuffings for luscious meats. S. grandiflora is preferred for making tea. S. pomifera 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 continents, 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 officinalis christi, clear DIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 406 Spielmánni W. en.
