Salvia pentstemonoides
''Salvia pentstemonoides'' (Big red sage) is a herbaceous perennial that is rare in nature and native to only a few locations in Texas, including the Edwards Plateau. The plant remains endangered due to destruction of habitat and browsing by deer. A severe drought in the 1950s may have contributed to its decline.
Big red sage was thought to be extinct beginning around 1946, until it was rediscovered by botanist Marshall Enquist in 1980 while shooting pictures for his ''Wildflowers of the Texas Hill Country''. At first, Enquist didn't realize he had taken a photo of an 'extinct' plant. He identified it as ''Salvia pentstemonoides'' from a guide book which didn't state that the plant was considered extinct. ''Wildflowers of the Texas Hill Country'' was finally published in 1987, without ''S. pentstemonoides''. That year, Enquist began thinking about adding some more wildflowers—including ''S. pentstemonoides''—to a second edition. While inquiring about the plant, he was surprised to learn that it had been considered extinct for many years.〔 In 1988, Enquist received the Donovan Stewart Correll Memorial Award from the Native Plant Society of Texas for his rediscovery of ''Salvia pentstemonoides''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Donovan Stewart Correll Memorial Award )〕
==History and taxonomy==
The first written account of the plant was in 1845, when it was collected by botanist Ferdinand Lindheimer, who sent a sample to botanist George Engelmann. Engelmann sent it to Carl Sigismund Kunth and Peter Karl Bouché in Germany, who first published and named the plant in 1848. It was also documented growing along Salado Creek in San Antonio in 1849.〔 The specific epithet ''pentstemonoides'' is frequently misspelled as ''"penstemonoides"''. The plant was originally named after an early spelling of ''Penstemon'' by Carl Linnaeus that added an extra "t". Since it was first described and named as ''"pentstemonoides"'', that spelling is considered the correct one. As the name suggests, the plant resembles penstemon.〔(IPNI listing )〕
