Re: Salvia scabiosifolia

 Sue,

 I really don't know Salvias, but I do have Jellito&Schacht.  Here's the
 entry for S.scabiosifolia:

 "NE Bulgaria, S.Russia, Crimea. Stems woody, often reddish at the base,
 30 cm high, procumbnt-ascending in a loose clump, well-branched, softly
 white-hairy to woolly, as are the close-spaced leaves. Leaves pinnate,
 with 3-8 pairs of linear leaflets, or deeply pinnate-lobed, lobes
 linear-oblong. Inflorescence racemose with 4-6 flowered whorls, flowers
 large, white, pink-blushed, upper lip pubescent, lower lip 4-lobed
 sinuate.  Attractive, bushy growing species for the large rock or natural
 garden."

 [The nice thing about J&S is that there's usually emphasis on diferential
 characters.  It's interesting how many horticultural sources tend to
 repeat the same general info about each of a number of species in a
 genus....]
