Salvia somalensis

Salvia somalensis (Somalia sage) is a perennial shrub endemic to a limited range and elevation in Somalia. It grows at elevations from 4000 ft to 7000 ft, typically in forest clearings or edges as a common or dominant subshrub.

Salvia somalensis is a many-stemmed rangy plant that grows up to 5 ft high and 3 ft wide. The leaves are oblong and yellow-green, reaching 4 in long and 1 in wide. The pale wisteria-blue flowers grow in tight, many-flowered whorls, growing on inflorescences that are unusual in that they do not always grow on the terminal ends of stems.
