replies: text: The Uto-Aztecan word used in common descriptions I have heard literally translates as "Tobacco Sage".  This is the common word used for it today.  There is another word used for it in Ute ceremonies, but I do not feel it would be respectful to print that word here since the Ute People have strong prohibitions and taboos about their language being written down.

message: This is a nice article, and my compliments to User:Jeffrey Vernon Merkey for his work on it.
I have a question about this phrase under "Morphology":
The grey green colored leaves have an intensely strong but pleasant scent and are mildly intoxicating with a minty aroma when handled or crushed.
I don't understand the term "mildly intoxicating" as used here; it reads as if one can become intoxicated either via the scent of the leaves or else by handling them.  Is "intoxicating" used figuratively here?  Or, does the intoxication take place through some other action than what is suggested by this sentence—for example, ingestion?  I think the sentence needs to be rewritten to clear this up. alanyst /talk/ 20:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The aroma that comes from crushing the stems also is intoxicating, just as is smoking it or breathing steam made from it in the sweat lodge.  I know this to be a fact and its also refered to in Michael Valentine Smiths Book since he describes an afternoon he spent eating it, smoking it, and smelling it.  It also has been proven to suppress the spread of cancer and is currently under research. Jeffrey Vernon Merkey 05:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Salvia dorii5.jpg

message: This article describes salvia dorrii as both a herbaceous perennial and as a woody shrub. It cannot be both as described here. Unfortunately, I don't know which it is as I'm looking for accurate information on this plant myself. Hopefully someone else can address it. --Paulag1955 (talk) 14:41, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
