The late Profeffor Vaml confiders the Salvia fc alio fa folia 

 of Lamarck, as the fame plant, attributing the native place of 

 Peru afligned to it, to an error not unufual in gardens. But 

 after all, the identity of thefe plants is by no means certain, 

 the leaves in Lamarck's figure being pinnatifid, not pinnate, 

 with the terminal leaflet much broader than the rell and tooihed. 

 In the extenfive Herbarium of Mr. Lambert, we obferve 

 confiderable variety in the width of the leaflets ; but none that 

 refemble the figure of Lamarck's fcabiofccfolia. 



The name of this plant was given by Pali, as in commemo- 

 ration of his friend Hablizl*, whofe good offices he lb often 

 and pathetically mentions in his writings. Dr. Clarke and his 

 companion were conducted by Pallas to this gentleman's 

 manfion in the delightful valley of Tchorgana; and in return for 

 the hofpitality he there met with, has given a figure of this Sage 

 in his travels, and brought feeds of the fame to England, 

 which he prefentcd to Mr. Donn, who kindly communicated 

 fine (lowering fpecimens, from one of which our drawing was 

 made. 



Native of Tauria and of Armenia. Flowers in Auguft. 

 A hardy perennial ; according to Dr. Clark i, incrcafing an- 

 nually in fize, till it becomes a fine tall fhrub of very great 

 beauty. Propagated by feeds, or by cuttings. 



* Dr. Clarke fpclh the name Ha blitz, which, although incorrefl, 

 u e adopt, for the fake of EngliQi organs of fpcech.
