A very beautiful species of /Salvia, with large bright blue flowers. The 

 plant is decidedly shrubby, and not above 1 ft. high ; it retains its leaves 

 during the winter, and flowers abundantly. It should be grown in a com- 

 post of very sandy loam and peat, and kept in a cool border with very little 

 water during winter, as it is apt to throw out weak and sickly shoots if 

 stimulated too soon. It is propagated by cuttings of the young wood struck 

 in spring. (Paxt. Mag. of Bot., May.)
