'''''Salvia lavandulifolia''''' ('''Spanish sage''') is a small woody herbaceous perennial native to Spain and southern France, growing in rocky soil in [[Maquis shrubland]], often found growing with [[Rosemary]], [[Lavandula lanata]], and [[Genista cinerea]].<ref name="Clebsch">{{cite book|last=Clebsch|first=Betsy|coauthors=Carol D. Barner|title=The New Book of Salvias|publisher=Timber Press|date=2003|page=198|isbn=9780881925609|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=NM0iwB8GrQYC&pg=PA198}}</ref>
''Salvia lavandulifolia'' grows one foot tall and wide, with a reclining habit and narrow, lanceolate, whitish-gray evergreen leaves that are less than 2 inches long. The leaves grow opposite each other on the stem and appear to grow in bunches. When the leaves are rubbed, oils give off a fragrance similar to rosemary. These oils are used for scenting soaps. The 1 inch long pale lavender flowers grow on short inflorescences, blooming for about one month in late spring and early summer. The flowering stems have very few flowers on widely spaced whorls. Some varieties have a dark calyx.<ref name="Clebsch"/>
