Name

Salvia sect. Scorodonia Epling, Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Beih. 110: 166. [1938 publ. 1939]

• Type species: Salvia melissodora Lag., Gen. Sp. Pl.: 2 (1816)

Synonyms

• Heterotypic
  • Salvia sect. Atratae Epling, Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Beih. 110: 211. 1938 publ. 1939.
    • Type species: Salvia semiatrata Zucc.

Note:

Epling (1941) combined this section with sect. Uricae, but this was rejected by Turner (2009). However, González-Gallegos et al. (2020) now recombines them, but see Olivera Mendoza (2017). WS has to adopt a conservative view and so Salvia sect. Uricae has its own taxon page.
