'''''Salvia forsskaolii''''' is a herbaceous perennial shrub endemic to the southeastern Balkan peninsula, ranging from Bulgaria and Greece to the Black Sea coastline of Turkey. It grows up to 6,000 ft elevation in broad-leaved and coniferous forests, meadows, and on steep banks. It was named after Finnish explorer and naturalist [[Peter Forsskål]], a student of [[Carl Linnaeus]] who collected plants in southwest Arabia in the 1700s. The plant grows into large basal clumps 2 ft tall and wide, with hairy leaves that are parsley-green in spring, turning dark green in summer. The flower whorls are few and widely spaced, with the flower a showy two-lipped violet-blue color that has white streaks with yellow markings on the lower lip.<ref name="Clebsch">{{cite book|last=Clebsch|first=Betsy|coauthors=Carol D.
