Salvia tingitana
''Salvia tingitana'' is an herbaceous perennial in the family Lamiaceae. It has a long and enigmatic history—it has been grown and described since the 17th century without any certainty about its origin. Botanists' speculation that it was native to northern Africa is reflected in the specific epithet ''tingitana'', which refers to the town of "Tingi" (now called Tangiers), even though no native plants have ever been found there. It was not until 1989 that a wild population of the plant was discovered, in western Saudi Arabia.〔Foley & et al., p. 48.〕
==Description==
''S. tingitana'' reaches about in height and width, forming an upright mound with numerous square, leafy stems. The leaves are graduated in size, reaching up to long and wide, and are an unusual pale lime-green color. The upper leaf surface is very rugose, while the underside has prominent veins with a few long hairs growing along the center vein. Glands on the leaf give off a very pungent odor when the leaf is brushed. The leaves are ovate with irregular wavy edges. The petiole has a few long hairs growing on it.〔
The flowers are bi-colored, growing less than long. The upper lip is a very pale lavender color and falcate; the lower lip is shorter and a very pale yellow color. The calyx is long and covered with hair. The flowers grow in whorls that are subtended with floral leaves. The many-branched inflorescences reach long, with several coming into bloom at the same time, giving a very dramatic effect.〔
