Scientific Names

Read about Salvia verbenaca in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Salvia verbenaca, Linn., also spelled verbenacea. (S. Spielmanni, Willd.). Hardy perennial, 1-2 ft. high: sts. herbaceous, erect, pubescent or villous: lvs. often 3-4 in. long, broad-ovate or oblong, crenate, glabrous; the lower long- petioled, base narrowed; the upper broader, sessile, base cordate, floral lvs. ovate-rotund, acuminate, villous, persistent: racemes elongated, simple or somewhat branched; floral whorls remote, about 6-fld.; calyx ovate, hirsute; corolla blue, rarely white, galea straight or somewhat falcate. June- Sept. Eu. and Orient. Var. clandestina, Briquet (S. clandestine, Linn.), is a smaller and more slender form than the type, with narrower lvs. and more purple fls. and the upper lip of the corolla is longer arched. Eu.—S. spelmina, Hort., is a name appearing in American trade-lists for a plant which grows 2 ft. high and with deep blue fls. in July. Presumably an error for Spielmanni.
