Salvia sclarea, Linn. (S. bracteata, Sims, not Soland., in Russ. S. Simsiana, R. & S.). Clary. Biennial, 2-3 ft. high: st. herbaceous, stout, erect, villous: lvs. often 8-9 x 4-5 in., petiolate, broad-ovate, erose-crenate, base cordate, hoary, the uppermost clasping; floral lvs. very broad, acuminate, concave, membranaceous, colored, their base white, their tips rose: racemes paniculate; floral whorls distant, about 6-fld.; calyx campanulate, striate, pubescent-hispid, the teeth rather spiny-acuminate; corolla whitish blue, the tube included. Aug. S. Eu. B.M. 2320. B.R. 1003. G.C. III. 44:268. Gn. 64, p. 249. G.M. 57:173. Var. turkestanica, Hort. (S. turkestanica, Hort. S. turkestaniana, Hort.), grows 3 ft. high, has quadrangular sts. tinged with pink, basal lvs. on long petioles and long spikes, 2 1/2 ft. high, of large white fls., tinged with pink. There is a form offered in the trade under the name of S. turkestanica superba, Hort., which has "dense branched pyramids of silky foliage and conspicuous rosy bracts, and white fls." S. bracteata, Soland., in Russ., is a valid species belonging to Section 1. It is a subshrub about 1-1 1/2 ft. high, with purplish fls. and a native of Asia Minor and Syria. Probably not in cult.

'''''Salvia sclarea''''' ('''clary''' or '''clary sage'''), is a [[biennial]] or short-lived [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herb]] in the genus ''[[Salvia]]'', native to [[Europe]] east to central [[Asia]]. It grows to 1 m tall, with opposite [[leaf|leaves]] 10-20 cm long and 6-12 cm broad, with a thick woolly texture. The [[flower]]s are in several clusters of 2-6 together on the stem, 2.5-3.5 cm long, white to pink or pale purple. Its strong and unusual [[odour]] is considered unpleasant by some, while others find it very attractive.

===Uses===

<gallery>
−
The distilled [[essential oil]] is occasionally found in specialty stores such as natural food stores and "scent shops". The odour is sometimes described as "sweaty", spicy or "hay-like". Clary seeds have a [[Mucilage|mucilaginous]] coat, and so old herbals recommended putting a seed into the eye of someone with a foreign object in it, to adhere to the object and make it easy to remove.

The leaves have been used as a [[vegetable]] in cookery. Clary was used as a flavouring in [[ale]]s before the use of [[hops]] became common, and also in [[wine]], notably [[Muscat grape|muscatel]]. It is also used as a flavouring in some [[tobacco]] products. Clary can be used as a [[tea]] or in [[aromatherapy]], and is supposed to have a calming effect.
