The Salvia here represented is a native of South America 
which is represented in the herbarium at Kew by a number 
of specimens collected in Brazil and Uruguay and by a 
single example from Buenos Ayres. The plant from which 
the material for our illustration has been derived is one 
which was presented to Kew in 1912 by Mr. P. L. de 
Vilmorin, Verritres. The conspicuously sulcate quadrangu- 
lar stem is a very marked feature of S. wliginosa. The 
toothing of the leaves is another, for although in other 
respects there is considerable variability, the type of serra- 
tion always remains the same. The leaves vary a good deal 
as regards the presence or absence of pubescence, but the 
glands on the lower surface remain a constant and dis- 
tinguishing feature. At Kew S. wliginosa has proved
