Biology
Classification
It appears that genus Salvia is not monophyletic. It could consist in 2-3 clades, and genera Rosmarinus, Thymus and Mentha could be imbedded.
Species
There are about 800-900 Salvia species, distributed both in temperate and tropical areas.
A great many sages are used localy as medicinals. Most of them also have an ornamental interest, and are grown by many plant lovers and collectionists. So it is practically impossible to be exhaustive.
