Salvia taraxacifolia

Salvia taraxacifolia is a species of flowering plant in the Lamiaceae family.

[3][4] It is referred to by the common name Dandelion leaved sage and is a herbaceous perennial shrub that is endemic to southwest Morocco, growing in the Atlas Mountains at elevations ranging from 2,000 feet (610 m) to 8,000 feet (2,400 m).

Very adaptable, it grows on limestone slopes, forest clearings, and rocky riversides.

The specific epithet, taraxacifolia, is likely Persian in origin and means 'leaves shaped like a dandelion'.

Plants spread into large mats, with many flower stalks blooming at once.
