Thefirll is generally called Salvia majorlatifolia, by almoft all Authors: the fecond C/ujixs faith he firlt faw in Auftria, and Bauhinus that he hadit firl fiom England, and called i¢ Salvia latifolia[errata : the third is called Salvia pomifera c& baccifera, or baccata & Cretica, or Cretenfis, to thew. thekinde, Lobel calleth it (occifera, Adatthiolus Salviafruttum inftar galaferens , and Anguilara Salvia Graca, which he faith they ufully call pAdsusunrce, Phlafcomelea: the fourthis called Salvia nobilis by Gefner & minor, by Matthiolusand divers others, angusftifolia,and tenuifolia by {ome others, aurita alfo, or atriculata, or pinnata by others : the fift Camerarins calleth Salvia Hifpanica odoratiffima, but Bashinus Salviafolio tenuiore, the old Gerard calleth it Salvia Indica, but his Corretter confoundeth it with the feventhfollowingas you fhall heare: the fixe C/zs fiws fetteth forth with this title, Sa/via Cretica anguftifolia, and Bauhinus Salvia anguftifoliaferrata: the feventh Bawhinus onely hath remembred untousby the name of Sa/via minor altera, and 1 adde thereunto flore rubente, ta makeit the better kitowne,for itisfcarce knowne to many : this is that Sage that I faid before Mafter Lobnfon that corrected Gerardhath erred exceedingly,in confoundingthis with the fift, which is the fame that Mafter Cannon thewed him and gave me, whoft {cent ts farre {weeter than the {mall Pigge Sage, and much differing fromthe {cent of Wormewood,if he had as duely enformed his fmell thereof, ay hee did his fight ofthe Hower: the eighth Barhinus alfo giveth the nameofSalvia anguftifolia lanuginofa, and in Englith {mall woolly Sage: the ninth likes wife hath his nameinthetitle, Bawhinus giving the Latine, and I the Englifh : the tenthis called by (/mfs#s Phlom mis Lychnités, and referreth it to the Lychnits called alfo Thryallis by Diofcorides, and by the Caftilians in Spaine Candilera,and thofe ofGranado Menchera : Lobelcallethit Verbaftum[ylveftrefolysfalviatennifolie, and Bashinus Verbafcum anguftis Jatviafolys, who faith itis alfo called of fome Angarathi : but Gefner in horts Germania calleth it Salviafylveftrs Monfpelienfinm, and therefore I have placed it in the number ofthe Sages, andaltered the title in Latine,andcall it thereafter,iri Englifh,the greater yellow Sage with narrowleaves: the eleventhis called by AZate thiolus allo Verbafcum(ylveftrebeing his fourth,and ftom him Anguilara, Caftor Durantes,Clufias,and others do call it Verbafcum 4, Matthioli : Camerarins Verbafcum[ylveftrefolys (alvie , and Lobel Verbafcum frutico[um liguofum GFflore luteo, whofaith as I fhewedyouinthe defcription, thatit is called a wilde Sage in /taly, France, the Low-= Countries, and England, for we callit French Sage, and whythen he and they fhould call it,as the next going before this, Verbafcum Maullein,| {ee no cafe more thanthat the leaves in both are woolly like Mullein, and may ferve as a weeke for Lamipes, as the Spaniards doe withthelaft before this, and as Mullein leaves may doe, but that is not a fufficient caufe in my judgement,to make them ofthe tribe ofMulleins, other things not concurring asthe flowers whereofI have {poken before, Let othersof knowledge bee judges herein, It iscalled in Englifh as I faid, French Sage, and wooddy Mullein , and this may as fitly bee called the great yellow wilde Sage QT Lip ~ GSG with broad leaves , as the formeris called the greater yellow wilde Sage with narrow leaves ; The laft is called Verbafcum [alvifolium by Profper Alpinws in his Booke De plantis exoticis , but becaufe the flowers of this are more like a Sage than a Mullein, asin the former I have ratherreferred it to thefe thanto with many that haveit, and is likely to be that fort which (/#/fus faith he found in Asftri2 with white flowérs; and mayalfo be Garand: his 4 pina, butthat thefigure dothbetter reprefent an Horminum than Sage.

Banhinus would feeme to make our ordinary Sageto bee the Sphacelus ofTheophraftus, (for Diofcorides maketh no mention ofSphacelws ) fet downein his 6.Booke and 2, Chapter : whereofhe fpeaketh in this manner, Sphacelus G Salvia, differ one from another ; as if you would call the one the tame manured Sage, and the other the wilde: the leafe of Sphacelwsis {moother and narrower, and leffe unfeemely, or notfo ill-favoured : but Sage ismore rough. Lwgdunenfis doth make the ordinary {mall Sage tobeit,and (Matthiolus {eemeth to fay the fames Guilandinusas is fet downein the Chapter going before, thinketh the great Stachys tobe it. Dodonens judgeth the Salvia agreftis , or Scorodonia, Wood Sage tobeit, and fome others thinke Colzs Iouis, or Fupsters diltaffe, a kinde of wild Clary fet downein the next Chapter to be it. So that among fuch variety ofopinions among learned men, itis very hard for me to fet downe whichis thetruelft : yet I will make bold to {can themalla litele, and laftly fheve you my judgement. Firlt, for Bashinus that {eemethto judge our ordinary Sage to bee the Sphacelus , whichifit fhould be fo, I would faine have him fet downe; whatfort fhould be his Sage, that mult be by Theophrajtus judgement more ragged than Sphacelus ; for I thinke none ofthe Sages is more rugged than the ordinary : For Dalea champins and others that thinke the {mall Sage to bee Sphacefus,and fayit is peculiar to the Sphaceiws to have eares furely I thinke that if Theophrajtus had meant that Sage, he would not have forgotten to {pecifie the eares, whichis fucha manifeft diftin@ion from the other, and fromall other hearbes almoft, that he might foone have put it outof all queftion, if he hadbut fo fet ic downe,befides his Sphace/zs hath a fmootherleafe, and notfo ill-favoured as the Sage,butthe leafe of the {mall Sage, isalmolt as unfightlyfor the fmalneffe as the greater : for Guilandinus that ta- Keth the great Stachys or bafe Horehound to bee Sphacelus, the greatneffe of the leaves and wholeplant, and the refemblance more neare an Horehound thana Sage, will make any the more to decline from this opinion ; for ie feemeth by Theophraftus that Sphacelus (hould be a kinde ofSage, in that it fhould no otherwife differ fromit, bur in the feemelineffe, {moothneffe, and fmalneffe of theleafe. For Dodoneus who would make the Scorodonia or Salvia agreftis tobe Sphacelus , and {trengthneth his opinion withthefe reafons, that the leafe ofthe Sphacelzs 1s more narroworfimall, (for fo I rranflate the word contraétius) andleffe unfeemelythan Sage, fuch asthe wooddy. Sage hath, and maketh the Greeke word @avrzpor to fignifie a more grievous fimell, as well as a more rugged or crumpledleafe, that he might make the wood Sage tobee anfwerable unto Sphacelus, andto be leffe grievous in {mell ,as well as leffe rugged in forme to the Sage : butalthoughit be called Salvia & agreftis with him,and/ylve= fris with Tragus and others,yetit is alfo referred by the beft Authors unto the fecond /cordium or fcordotis, water GermanderofPliny,and of Valerizs Cordus,called Scorodonia,of the {mel ofGarlicke,whereof this wood Sage hath a {mack,which even ‘Dodonaus himfelfe defcribeth to have larger,but fhorter leaves than Sage, both which1 thinke cannot agree unto Sphacelus, for it is {aid to have {maller leaves than Sage,andthe fmell Hereofcannot be faid to bee leffe grievous than thatof:Sage. Nowfor thofe that would have (ols Iovis tobe /phacelus, their opinions have farre lefle fhewofreafon than any of the other going before, for the formeand largeneffe ofthe leaves and ftalkes 1s greater than Sage,andis differing from anygood feent,drawingneerer unto a wild Clary, (whereofgood Authors make it a kind) than to any Sage. Now to fhewyou myopinion, which ofthefe come neereft to the truth, I muft alittle before hand fcan the words of Theophrastus,which you may readin the fame Booke and Chapter within @ fewlines afterit ; for in defcribing the next hearbe Adarrabinm,Horchoundto be oftwo kindes; when er a ¢ F3 ewed: |
