Abstract

Three-lobed sage is here claimed as being, most likely, a part in the sage of the ancient and medieval texts not a mere substitute for S. officinalis. The traditional uses recently discovered in Spain and Madeira are here published for the first time and compared with the data available from the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Los usos tradicionales recientemente descubiertos en España sepresentan aquí por primera vez y se comparan con los datos disponibles de la Región Mediterránea Oriental.
