Scientific name

Salvia

Salbei (Salvia) is a kind of the lip bloom plants (Lamiaceae). The name (lat. salvare = heal) refers in addition, to the kitchen or Heilsalbei important for kitchen and medicine (Salvia officinalis). The kind is world-wide common and covers more than 920 kinds.

Morphology

Representatives of the kind Salbei grow krautig or in bushes. The blooms have primarily probably the family-typical lip bloom, but the lower lip is reduced in many kinds. Two of the 4 are reduced to Staminodien.

With many kinds, v.a. with of bees and Hummeln dusted kinds trained the a joint, which platziert the Pollen on the insect body. The primary point of the filament remains thin and becomes from surrounding fabric to umwachsen in growth, so that a secondary filament point forms. The Konnektiv attains full growth and separates the two bars spatially. The bars to the bloom reason are often reduced (monothekat), so that the Pollen is only formed by the bars at the bloom entrance. With bird-dusted kinds this joint is usually (more) missing. The secondary filament point is reduced and the joint thus destabilized or the filament Konnektiv connection is no longer in such a way arranged partly that a turn is possible.

The bloom color varied of knows to blue, violet, pink and red. Red-flowering kinds without joint mechanism are usually bird-dusted, depending upon geographical spreading e.g. in South America von Kolibris. Blue and violet-flowering kinds with joint mechanism are usually bee or Transitions and exceptions are however possible.

Systematics

The evolution and the generic status is disputed, molecular analyses e.g. place the Rosmarin (Rosmarinus officinalis) into the kind.

Salbei and humans

By the high portion there are ethereal oils in various Salbeiarten different uses. So the Heilsalbei (S. officinalis) used as kitchen spice and also in the medicine, approximately with sore throats as dte. Other kinds (e.g. S. divinorum) contain halluzinogene materials, which are used likewise by some. The meadow Salbei spread in Germany contains hardly ethereal oils and therefore is not used.
