1. Savorynoun

   A plant.

   Etymology: savorée, French; satureia, Latin.

   It is of the verticillate kind, with a labiated flower, whose upper lip or crest is divided into two parts; but the lower lip or beard is divided into three parts, the middle part being crenated: these flowers are produced from the wings of the leaves in a loose order, and not in whorles or spikes, as are most of this tribe of plants. Philip Miller.
