    Habit
    Annual or perennial herbs or shrubs, often aromatic
    Stem
    Stems quadrangular, with simple or elsewhere rarely dendroid hairs, often with sessile glands or glandular hairs
    Leaves
    Leaves simple to lobed or dissected, some sometimes crowded at base of stem, often petiolate below and ± sessile above
    Flowers
    Flowers in a thyrse, 1–numerous in congested to well-spaced verticils; bracts usually distinctly smaller than leaves; bracteoles present or absent
    Calyx
    Calyx campanulate to tubular, ± distinctly 2-lipped; posterior lip 3-fid or entire; anterior lip 2-lobed
    Corolla
    Corolla white to yellow, or purple to bright red or blue, 2-lipped; posterior lip hooded; anterior lip 3-lobed, straight or deflexed, with middle lobe broader
    Stamens
    Fertile stamens 2, the posterior pair vestigial or absent; anterior pair included to long-exserted, the filaments usually short, but the connective much extended, filament-like and separating the thecae; posterior theca always large and fertile; anterior theca smaller, fertile, sterile or replaced by a hatchet-shaped tip
    Ovary
    Ovary deeply 4-lobed; style gynobasic, 2-lobed, the anterior lobe usually much longer
    Fruits
    Nutlets trigonous, ovoid to rounded, with a small scar at or near the base, often producing mucilage when wetted.
    Note
    Salvia is pollinated by both insects and birds and has one of the most elaborate pollination mechanisms in the family. The flowers have only 2 stamens, normally with a single fertile theca and a much-elongated connective that often articulates with the relatively short filament. The anterior theca forms a sterile appendage that usually acts as a lever, tapping the pollen directly on to the back of the pollinator. Small cleistogamous flowers sometimes occur in S. merjamie. A number of species have been grown in gardens and, particularly in the case of S. coccinea, sometimes occur as escapes and tend to become naturalised.
