Plant-anatomical and phytochemical investigations were carried out on three Salvia species: S.officinalis L., S.sclarea L., S.pratensis L. It was established that the structure of the glandular hairs of the three species doesn't differ from each other but the characteristics of the covering hairs are different. The covering hairs of sage (Salvia officinalis) consist of 1-4 cells and have protective function. The hairs of the other two Salvia species are bristle hairs. The highest essential oil content was found in sage and the lowest one in S. pratensis. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the essential oils of Salvia species was also various but the qualitative composition of leaf, calix and petal of the same Salvia species was characteristical standard; significant differences were found only in their quantitative composition. Sclareol diterpene alcohol was the main component of the hexane extract obtained from clary sage flowering herb. In polyphenol ingredients Salvia officinalis was the richest. The results demonstrated that the 20% ethanol is the best of the 20, 40, 70% alcoholic solvents, for the extraction of polyphenol compounds. It was established that the rosmarinic acid depside was the main component of polyphenols. Mineral elements were also analysed in the Salvia species leaves as well in the alcoholic and wateric extracts of sage. The magnesium content was considerable in S. pratensis, the zinc content was the highest in S. officinalis.
药用鼠尾草（Salvia officinalis L.）、南欧丹参（Salvia sclarea L.）、草原鼠尾草（Salvia pratensis L.）。结果表明，这三种植物腺毛的结构彼此无差异，但覆盖毛的特征不同。鼠尾草（Salvia officinalis）的覆盖毛由1 - 4个细胞组成，具有保护功能。其他两种鼠尾草属植物的毛为刚毛。鼠尾草中的精油含量最高，草原鼠尾草中的最低。鼠尾草属植物精油的定性和定量组成也各不相同，但同一鼠尾草属植物叶片、花萼和花瓣的定性组成具有特征性标准；仅在其定量组成上发现了显著差异。南欧丹参醇二萜醇是从南欧丹参开花草本植物中获得的己烷提取物的主要成分。在多酚成分方面，药用鼠尾草最为丰富。结果表明，对于多酚化合物的提取，20%乙醇是20%、40%、70%乙醇溶剂中最佳的。已确定迷迭香酸缩酚酸是多酚的主要成分。还对鼠尾草属植物叶片以及鼠尾草的乙醇提取物和水提取物中的矿质元素进行了分析。草原鼠尾草中的镁含量可观，药用鼠尾草中的锌含量最高。
