Done.  You might be interested in my Salvia database, which is a listing of
185 Salvia species (mostly New World) I have some experience with in North
Carolina and New England, augmented with my observations and other's
contributions from New England to Colorado, California, Florida, and
Washington state.  

The data fields are in the form of expanded plant labels, so they can be
copied at full or reduced size for nurserymen to set out after they have
been laminated and mounted.

I may be forced to sell my home in a few months, so I am interested in
getting my collection distributed as well.  I have about 130 Salvia species
(about 1500 2 1/2 pots) to find homes for.  I hope to get a grant to work on
adding images to a digitized herbarium in time to keep my house, but still
will have to eliminate the horde of small pots, keeping 1 - 3 specimen pots
of each for research, breeding, and taking images. 

Contact me by private e-mail about either the database or the plants.  I can
also attach JPG images of many Salvias and Agastaches to e-mail.  I hope to
finally set up a modest web page on Salvias as an aid for these efforts once
I have dealt with more pressing matters.

The database and plant distribution are part of an ongoing project to write
a monograph on Salvias. By working with people who have the database, I will
be able to check and augment the information in it.  Since there are fewer
Agastaches, I need not take as vigorous a stratagy with them.
