7. (n) sage
   A plant of the genus Salvia, especially S. officinalis, the common garden sage. This is a shrubby perennial, sometimes treated as an annual, with rough hoary-green leaves, and blue flowers variegated with white and purple and arranged in spiked whorls. Medicinally, sage is slightly tonic, astringent, and aromatic. It was esteemed by the ancients, but at present, though officinal, is little used as a remedy except in domestic practice. The great use of sage is as a condiment in flavoring dressings, sausages, cheese, etc. In Europe S. pratensis, the meadow-sage, a blue-flowered species growing in meadows, and S. Sclarea, the clary, are also officinal, and the latter is used in soups, but the taste is less agreeable. The ornamental species (which include the two last named) are numerous, and in several cases brilliant. Such are the half-hardy S. splendens, the scarlet sage of Brazil; S. fulgens, the cardinal or Mexican red sage; and the Mexican S. patens, with deep-blue, widely ringent corolla over two inches long. The European S. argentea, the silver-leafed sage, or clary, is cultivated for its foliage. Blue-flowered species fit for the garden, native in the United States, are S. azurea of the southern States, S. Pitcheri, with the leaves minutely soft-downy, found from Kansas to Texas, and the Texan S. farinosa, with a white hoary surface. See chia, clary, and phrases below.
