Salvia reflexa is a member of the Salvia genus, which is known for its aromatic properties. It is commonly referred to as "Mediterranean sage" or "wild sage" due to its origins in Mediterranean countries. However, it is also known by several other names including "curry plant," "scarlet sage," and "upright sage" among others. Some sources describe it as having a lemon or citrus scent, and as such it is also referred to as "lemon sage". Regardless of the name, this plant is a popular choice for use in herb gardens, due to its attractive appearance and culinary uses. It has small, tubular flowers that bloom in shades of pink, white, or purple, and is used to flavor meat, vegetables and salads.
