'''''Salvia forsskaolii''''' is a herbaceous perennial shrub endemic to the southeastern Balkan peninsula, ranging from Bulgaria and Greece to the Black Sea coastline of Turkey. It grows up to 6,000 ft elevation in broad-leaved and coniferous forests, meadows, and on steep banks. It was named after Finnish explorer and naturalist [[Peter Forsskål]], a student of [[Carl Linnaeus]] who collected plants in southwest Arabia in the 1700s. | |||
