Wood Sage
Tecrium scorodonia
Labiatae family
Wood sage, common in Britain, Europe and North Africa, has been used for its medicinal properties for hundreds of years, and also more recently as a substitute for hops in the brewing trade.The leaves were used to make tea, which was said to be effective for soothing rheumatic pains and indigestion. When crushed, the leaves were applied to wounds and boils.
It is a dreadful plant to draw!
This was found on 11th July 1998 over the wall at the 10th tee, near the observatory.
