SALVIA 



S. Boliviana, con ferti flora, elegans, gesnermfoUa, leon- 

 u'roides, rubescens, strictiflora. , „ ^, . T^^^, 

 Salvia was monographed in 1848 by Bentham in DC. 

 Pi^d vol. 12, and an index to the 407 species therein 

 described is found in Buek's "Genera Species et 

 Svnonyma," etc.. pars iii. In 187G, Hemsley gave an 

 account in The Garden (9:430-434) of 05 species which 

 had been in cultivation up to that time. See also "A 

 Synopsis of the Mexican and Central American Species 

 of Salvia " by M. L. Fernald (Proc. Am. Acad. Arts 

 Sci vol .35, 1900, and Contrib. Gray Herb. Harvard 

 Univ. N. S. No. 19). In the work just cited 209 species 

 are described and there is an elaborate key.

 glutinous: teeth of calyx scarcely enlarged m "uit. 

 posterior lip of the corolla falcate, compressed. In- 

 cludes hians.

 Mle- anterior portion of the connective deflexed, 

 ahrupth, dilated, imnected at the callous extremity. 

 All Old World, herbaceous species. 

 Section 4. Eormlnum. Posterior lip of calyx trun-

 short and connivent: posterior liP/V^f hi rolor^ ma- 

 falcate, concave or compressed. Includes bicolor, pra- 

 tensis and sylvestris. 



Subgenus III. Calosphace. Corolla with no hairy 

 Hnqinside but sometimes with 2 teeth near the base: 

 anterior portion of the connective deflexed, linear 

 longitudinally connate or closely ^VP^f'^^^f'^Xl 

 someivhat dilated, rarely bearing an abortive anther 

 cell. All American species. 



Section 7. CaUsphace. By far the largest section, 

 characterized as above, and within .thfe limits im- 

 mensely variable. Over 250 species including azurea, 

 rcaliiolia, coccinea, farinacea, ^^^S^^^J^^^H^^^''^ 

 lanceolata, leucantha, patens, Sessei and splendens. 



Subgenus IV. Leonia. Corolla with a hairy ring in- 

 side- anterior portion of connective sometimes di- 

 rectk outward and bearing either a fertile or sterie 

 anther cell, sometimes deflexed and acute, rarely 

 reduced to a short tooth. 



Section 8. Bchindsphace. Bracts imbricated, spi- 

 nescent posterior lip of calyx 3-toothed: connective 

 bearing a perfect anther cell on the posterior side. 

 Includes carduacea. 



Section 9. Pycndsphace. Bracts imbricated, not 

 spinescent. Otherwise as stated in Section 8. Includes 

 ColumbarisB. 



Section 10. Eeterdsphace. Bracts deciduous: pos- 

 terior lip of calyx truncate: 90°"e°tive bearing a per- 

 fect anther cell on posterior side. Includes lyrata. 



Section 11. NotiSsphace. Bracts small or minute: 

 posterior lip of corolla entire or with 3 minute conni- 

 vent teeth. Includes no species cult, in America. 



Section 12. Hemisphace. Bracts small: posterior
