Salvia azurea, Lam. (S. acuminata, Michx., not Cav.). Perennial, 1-6 ft. high: sts. herbaceous, erect, glabrous: lvs. petiolate, oblong-lanceolate or linear, rather obtuse or acute, base long-narrowed, somewhat serrate, both surfaces green and glabrous; floral lvs. lanceolate-linear, deciduous: racemes simple, elongated; floral whorls distant, about 6-fld.; calyx green or bluish, subsessile, tubular, striate, the 3 teeth broad, rather acute; corolla blue. Aug. S. C. to Fla. and Texas. B.M. 1728. Var. grandiflora, Benth. (S. Pitcheri, Torr.), which differs in being cinereous-puberulent, in its denser infl. and tomentulose-sericeous calyx. G.C. II. 14:685. Gn. 19:600; 61, p. 309. G.Z. 26:121.—Probably the plant formerly offered as S. Pitcheri var. angustifolia, Hort., belongs here. It is quite probable that some of the material in the trade as S. azurea var. grandiflora is in reality S. farinacea. Var. grandiflora alba, Hort. (S. azurea var. alba grandiflora, Hort.), is a white-fld. form of the variety. CH
