Image de Salvia microstegia Boiss. & Balansa

Description :

This is the commonest sage of the subalpine (Tragacanth) zone of Mt Hermon, 1700-2600m. It is a perennial sticky herb. many tiny insects captured-glued on the plant, but it is not a carnivorous plant. I wonder what is the purpose of the violet tiny glands on the upper lip of the flower. Perhaps they protect it from predation.
