1d an aromatic, culinary and medicinal herb
--A--E [4 letters] SAGE or MACE ? I think sage ?

[Aquagility]

I put mace, but this is a true "Katie"!

[JoolsTwo]

I've gone for Mace too. But I'm still hovering and could change it :-)

[Aquagility]

On second thoughts, Mace is a spice, not a herb.

I have looked up Mace and Sage on Google. According to the write-ups Mace is just a herb but Sage has culinary and medicinal properties. It is also antiseptic.

I think its SAGE, from the Latin SALVIA "Healing plant ", from Salvus " Safe " quoted from the Concise Oxford Dicctionary.

[Dee Sa]

many tks to all, I will stick with sage.

[JoolsTwo]

Yes, I've just been checking and I've swung over to sage now too.

I put SAGE .
I'm sure mace is a spice, while sage is a herb.
Don't think mace is medicinal...
