Sage is a term used for plants of the genus Salvia. When used without modifiers it generally refers to the common sageCommon sage Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Lamiales Family: Lamiaceae Genus: Salvia Species officinalis Binomial name Salvia officinalis Common sage Salvia officinalis is a small evergreen su, but can be used with modifiers to refer to any member of the genus. However, the ornamental species are still most commonly referred to as Salvias. This genus includes shrubThe word 'bush' re-directs here; for alternate uses see Bush (disambiguation A shrub or bush is a horticultural rather than strictly botanical category of woody plant, distinguished from a tree by its multiple stems and lower height, usually less than 6 ms, herbaceous perennials, and annuals. They are grown as herbs and for ornament.
The name Salvia comes from salveo, salvare = to heal.
Some Artemisia species are sometimes called sages, a shortened version of sagebrush, which is a more appropriate term for them. They generally taste vile, and have no place on the spice shelf, although many of them are used medicinally. This misnaming has gone rather far in smudging: smudge bundles are made with various grey-leaved species of Artemisia and sold as "whitesage" smudges. The true whitesage is Salvia apiana, which has a delightful scent when burned.
