Appearance
The mealycup sage reaches stature heights of 60 to 90 cm. The shape of the leaf blade varies from ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate. The inflorescence axis forms a blue, rarely a white hair. The truncated calyx has very short calyx teeth. They are dense blue or white hairy, so that the individual enamel teeth are barely recognisable. The bright blue-white flowers are slim and gleaming. The crown will be about 2.5 inches long. Inside the crown there is no ring-shaped hair strip.The first description of Salvia farinacea was made in 1833 by George Bentham in Labiatarum Genera et Species , p. 274. Synonyms for Salvia farinacea Benth. are Salvia linearis Sessé & Moc. and Salvia virgata Ortega.
