Salvia misella (Lamiaceae)—A new record for Asia from the southern Western Ghats of India– Sunojkumar P and Pradeep A K- Phytotaxa Vol. 230 No. 3: 13 October 2015 (Abstract: The mint family, Lamiaceae is generally regarded as being one of the most highly derived plant families from the viewpoint of floral structures (Hedge 1992). The family is best known for their essential oils common to many members of the family and are a major source of culinary herbs. Within the subfamily Nepetoideae tribe Mentheae, the subtribe Salviineae includes 8 genera with about 954 species in the world (Harley et al. 2004). The genus Salvia L. (1753: 23) alone account for over 900 species in the subtribe and is the largest genera in Labiatae (Mabberley 2008). It is a tropical and subtropical genus mostly found in montane areas with the major diversity in Mediterranean, Central Asia, the highlands of Mexico and the Andes in South America (Rodrigues-Hahn et al. 1992).)
