Salvia

dorisiana

var.

,

Salvia dorisiana, Fruit-scented sage or Peach sage, is a perennial shrub native to Honduras. It grows 1-1.3 m tall, and is heavily branched. The leaves have a fruity scent when brushed, and large magenta-pink flowers that bloom in winter. Salvia dorisiana was first described in 1950, and has become popular as a greenhouse plant. The flowers reach up to 5 cm in length, with a lime-green calyx about the same length. The entire plant is covered in hairs whose glands release a pineapple-grapefruit scent.^[1]

Salvia dorisiana was apparently named after Doris, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, and the wife of Nereus. She was mother to the fifty Nereids.^[1]
