Leucophyllum langmaniae is a shrub native of Mexico (Chihuahuan Desert), semi-evergreen, with gray-green leaves of velvety texture.

Its shape is branched and compact, forming a rounded mass of up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) high and wide.

They appear in the fall, and are even more abundant if drought or heat waves were important.

However, it is not a true sage and it has no systematics relationship to the genus Salvia.

The specific epithet langmaniae was given in honor of Ida Kaplan Langman.
