Origin & history
The name is a worn-down form of the Latin sclareia, meaning clear — Nicholas Culpeper called the plant clear-eye in his Complete Herbal of 1653. Its seeds have a mucilaginous coat, and old herbals recommended slipping one into the eye to lift out a speck of grit. In sixteenth-century Germany it was infused into Rhine wines. Today it is largely a perfumer's plant.
