Does anyone have Jelitto & Schacts books on perennials and could look up what
colour flower salvia scabiosifolia is supposed to have? Any other details?
thanks in advance,
Sue Templeton, Albury, Australia
Sue,
I don't have Jelitto & Schacts but Salvia scabiosifolia is listed as following
in Volume 3 of Flora Europaea:
S. scabiosifolia Lam.
Herb 20-50 cm, woody at base. Stems much-branched, ascending, patent-villous,
eglandular. Leaves, pinnate or pinnatisect, petiolate, with many pairs of
linear or oblong lateral segments and a larger terminal segment.
Verticillasters with 6-10 flowers. Calyx 10-15 mm, accrescent. Corolla 25-30
mm, violet-blue or violet. Krym (Crimea) and N. Bulgaria.
Hope this helps,
Randy Baldwin
