There are about 30 [[species]] called '''savories''', of which [[Summer Savory]] and [[Winter Savory]] are the most important in cultivation.<br /> <br /> ==Description==<br /> ''Satureja'' species are native to warm temperate regions and may be [[annual plant|annual]] or [[perennial plant|perennial]]. They are low-growing [[herb]]s and [[subshrub]]s, reaching heights of 15-50 cm.<br /> <br /> The [[leaf|leaves]] are 1 to 3 cm long, with [[flower]]s forming in whorls on the stem, white to pale pink-violet.<br /> <br /> ==Ecology and cultivation==<br /> ''Satureja'' species are food plants for the [[larva]] of some [[Lepidoptera]]. Caterpillars of the [[moth]] ''[[Coleophora bifrondella]]'' feed exclusively on [[Winter Savory]] (''S. montana'').<br /> <br /> Savory may be grown purely for ornamental purposes; members of the genus need sun and well-drained soil.<br /> <br /> ==Uses== <br /> [[Image:Bonenkruid-spice.jpg||thumb|left|Dried [[Summer Savory]] leaves]] <br /> Both summer savory and winter savory are used to flavor food. The former is preferred by cooks but as an annual is only available in summer; [[winter savory]] is an evergreen perennial.<br /> <br /> Savory plays an important part in [[Italian cuisine]], particularly when cooking beans. It is also used to season the traditional [[Acadian]] stew known as ''[[fricot]]''. <br /> <br /> [[Yerba Buena]] ([[Spanish (language)|Spanish]]: &quot;good herb&quot;; ''S. douglasii'') is used to make a herbal tea in the western United States.<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear:left&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Winter savory is reputed to help ease [[flatulence]].<br /> <br /> ==Selected species==<br /> [[image:Satureja mexicana 2.jpg|thumb|right|''[[Satureja mexicana]]'']]<br /> * ''[[Satureja acinos]]''<br /> * ''[[Satureja alpina]]''<br /> * ''[[Satureja coerulea]]''<br /> * ''[[Satureja cuneifolia]]''<br /> * ''Satureja douglasii'' &amp;ndash; [[Yerba Buena]] (syn.
