Salvia indica Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 26. 1753.

"Habitat in India ." RCN: 197.

Neotype (Hedge in Jarvis & al. in Taxon 50: 517. 2001): Herb. Tournefort No. 1079 (P-TOURN) .

Current name: Salvia indica L. ( Lamiaceae).

Note: Hedge (in Davis, Fl. Turkey 7: 451. 1982; in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 150: 466. 1982) noted the absence of material in LINN and suggested that a Tournefort collection "could possibly be selected as type". He subsequently (2001) formalised this suggestion by designating it as a neotype.
