Salvia indica
 Salvia indica is a species of herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the family Lamiaceae. It is native to a wide region of Western Asia that includes Israel Iraq Iran and Turkey. It was first described by the taxonomist Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It is unknown why he gave it the specific epithet indica since the plant is not from India. While Salvia indica is classified as a herbaceous perennial in cultivation individual plants often live no longer than two years.
