“…Whilst the genus was recognised and named by both Egyptian and Greek civilizations it owes its name to the Romans (from the Latin salvare -'to save') [7]. The most common European members of the genus, both originating from the northern shores of the Mediterranean, are Salvia officinalis (Garden sage) and Salvia lavandulaefolia (Spanish sage).…”

Extensive research suggests that a number of plant-derived chemicals and traditional Oriental herbal remedies possess cognition-enhancing properties. Widely used current treatments for dementia include extracts of Ginkgo biloba and several alkaloidal, and therefore toxic, plant-derived cholinergic agents. Several non-toxic, European herbal species have pan-cultural traditions as treatments for cognitive deficits, including those associated with ageing. To date they have not received research interest commensurate with their potential utility. Particularly promising candidate species include sage (Salvia lavandulaefolia/officinalis), Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). In the case of sage, extracts possess anti-oxidant, estrogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties, and specifically inhibit butyryl- and acetyl-cholinesterase. Acute administration has also been found to reliably improve mnemonic performance in healthy young and elderly cohorts, whilst a chronic regime has been shown to attenuate cognitive declines in sufferers from Alzheimer's disease. In the case of Melissa officinalis, extracts have, most notably, been shown to bind directly to both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors in human brain tissue. This property has been shown to vary with extraction method and strain. Robust anxiolytic effects have also been demonstrated following acute administration to healthy humans, with mnemonic enhancement restricted to an extract with high cholinergic binding properties. Chronic regimes of aromatherapy and essential oil respectively have also been shown to reduce agitation and attenuate cognitive declines in sufferers from dementia. Given the side effect profile of prescribed cholinesterase inhibitors, and a current lack of a well tolerated nicotinic receptor agonist, these herbal treatments may well provide effective and well-tolerated treatments for dementia, either alone, in combination, or as an adjunct to conventional treatments.

“…In southeastern Spain, a local sage cultivar is traditionally grown, which is exclusively propagated by cuttings because flowers usually do not develop seeds. This cultivar is known under the vernacular names of "Salvia real" and "Sabia real" and possesses 3-lobed leaves which recall those of S. fruticosa (Rivera & al., 1994). Morphometric studies (Reales & al., 2004) demonstrate that it is consistently distinct from both S. fruticosa and S. officinalis subsp.…”

“…It occupies a broad range of habitats, temperate and tropical forests, arid and semi-arid scrubs, alpine and secondary vegetation; and it grows from sea level to elevations of 4800 m (Hsiwen andHedge 1994, Ramamoorthy andElliott 1998). Various species of this genus have been part of popular medicine in different regions and cultures (Rivera et al 1994, Ceroni-S. 2002, Cahill 2003, Dweck 2000, Jäger and Van Staden 2000, Martínez-Moreno et al 2006, Ramírez et al 2006, Cheng 2007, Jenks 2008, Jenks and Kim 2013, and recent studies are uncovering the underlying chemicals responsible for the healing properties (Perry et al 2000, Yokozawa 2000, Veličovič et al 2003, Ramírez et al 2006, Cheng 2007, Ramírez et al 2007, Li et al 2012. Some individual species have had great relevance and have been employed for several purposes, such as Salvia hispanica L., which was employed by Mesoamerican people as food, medicine and oil (Cahill 2003), and that is now reappraised as a valuable nutritional resource (Ayerza andCoates 2005, Peiretti andGai 2009).…”

A taxonomic revision of Salvia subg. Calosphace sect. Membranaceae (Lamiaceae) is presented based on the examination of recent herbarium collections and field observations. The section consists of 12 species and it occurs from northern Mexico to northern South America. A morphological conspectus, identification key, botanical descriptions, photographs, distribution maps, a comprehensive list of synonyms and a discussion about the delimitation of problematic taxa are given. IntroductionTraditionally, Salvia L. was regarded as one of the largest vascular plant genera (Frodin 2004), with 900-1100 species worldwide (Standley and Williams 1973, Hsi-wen and Hedge 1994, Walker et al. 2004. It has a subcosmopolitan distribution, but native species are only absent from the highest latitudes and from Australasia, with the major centres of diversity in Mexico-Central America and the Mediterranean BasinMiddle East (Walker et al. 2004). It occupies a broad range of habitats, temperate and tropical forests, arid and semi-arid scrubs, alpine and secondary vegetation; and it grows from sea level to elevations of 4800 m (Hsiwen and Hedge 1994, Ramamoorthy andElliott 1998). Various species of this genus have been part of popular medicine in different regions and cultures (Rivera et al. 1994, Ceroni-S. 2002, Cahill 2003, Dweck 2000, Jäger and Van Staden 2000, Martínez-Moreno et al. 2006, Ramírez et al. 2006, Cheng 2007, Jenks 2008, Jenks and Kim 2013, and recent studies are uncovering the underlying chemicals responsible for the healing properties (Perry et al. 2000, Yokozawa 2000, Veličovič et al. 2003, Ramírez et al. 2006, Cheng 2007, Ramírez et al. 2007, Li et al. 2012. Some individual species have had great relevance and have been employed for several purposes, such as Salvia hispanica L., which was employed by Mesoamerican people as food, medicine and oil (Cahill 2003), and that is now reappraised as a valuable nutritional resource (Ayerza and Coates 2005, Peiretti and Gai 2009). Furthermore, S. divinorum Epling & Játiva, possesses medicinal and stimulating properties that are utilized by Mazatec people (indigenous people who inhabit the Sierra Mazateca, in Oaxaca, southern Mexico) in divination rites (Wasson 1962, Valdés-III et al. 1987, Reisfield 1993, and is presently gaining popularity as a hallucinogenic in different countries (González et al. 2006, Lange et al. 2008). In addition, Salvia has been a popular ornamental and continues to be prized as a decorative garden plant (Clebsh 1997, Froissart 2008. Epling, 1939) has been followed with successive publications that describe new sections and species, provide additional and/ or emended data about sectional and species delimitations, and amplify geographical distributions (Epling 1940(Epling , 1941(Epling , 1944(Epling , 1947(Epling , 1951(Epling , 1960Epling and Mathias 1957;Epling and Játiva 1963, 1968. In the last 10 years at least 34 new species have been published within subg. Calosphace (Missouri Botanical Garden 2013). Hence, in view of these recent advanc...
