 Salvia lanceaefolia Poir. in Lam., Encycl. Sup. 5: 49. 1817. 



Apache, Navajo, Coconino and Yavapai Counties, south to Pinal, 

 Cochise, and Santa Cruz Counties, 4,000 to 7,000 feet, plains and 

 mesas, July to October. North Dakota and Wyoming to Texas, 

 Arizona, and Mexico. 



Sometimes called Rocky Mountain sage. Medicinal properties 

 are attributed to this plant, of which infusions are sometimes used in 

 treating malarial and rheumatic fevers and as a tonic and astringent.

Salvia albiflora Mart, and Gal. var. pringlei A. Gray, Syn. Fl. 

 ed. 2, 2 l : 461. 1886. 



Fish Creek, eastern Maricopa County (Kearney and Peebles 14488), 

 by streams in the Santa Catalina Mountains, Pima County (Pringle 

 in 1881, the type collection), May to October. Known only from 

 southern Arizona. 



13. Salvia lemmoni A. Gray, Amer. Acad. Arts and Sci. Proc. 20: 



309. 1885. 



Salvia microphylla H. B. K. var. wislizeni A. Gray, ibid. p. 408. 



Mountains of Cochise and Pima Counties, 6,000 to 8,000 feet, 

 rocky slopes and canyons, July to October, type from the Huachuca 

 Mountains (Lemmon in 1881). Southern Arizona and northern 

 Mexico. 



This species appears to be confluent with a polymorphic complex 

 ranging from Arizona to central and eastern Mexico. Although the 

 Arizona plants have a somewhat different habital aspect, they seem 

 hardly separable from the variety of S. microphylla from Chihuahua 

 described by Gray as var. wislizeni. The plant has an odor of 

 peppermint, according to Blumer. 



14. Salvia aethiopis L., Sp. PL 27. 1753. 



South rim of the Grand Canyon (Coconino County), Peeples 

 Valley (Yavapai County), fields and roadsides. Here and there in 

 the United States (Texas, Arizona, Oregon); introduced from the 

 Mediterranean region. 



The plant has spread rapidly in Peeples Valley during the past 12 

 years and has become a pest in overgrazed range land.
