S a l k carnosa (Dougl.) is a North American plant of the Labiatae family found on the plains and slopes west of the Rocky Mountains from eastern Washington as far south as Nevada and California. It is a leafy, low, broad shrub, three-fourths to two and one-half feet 'high, bearing long spatulate or obovate, obtuse or retuse leaves. The bracts and upper floral leaves are tinged with rose or purple and the coroila is a deep blue. It is commonly called Purple Sage.
Taxonomists who questioned the classification of this plant in the genus Salvia have given it other botanical names (Audibertia incanu, Ramona incam) but present-day taxononlists apply to it the name originally given by Douglas, that is, S a l k carnosa.
