Salvia is a plant that is native in Mexico and Southeast Asia. The salvia plant is an annual plant that grows anywhere from about one to three feet tall. It has white flowers that come in a bundle of six and are surrounded by a small purple calyx. The leaves from the plant are hairless and completely smooth which give it a brittle complexion. They also have a small yellow color on the underside of the leaves. The stems are square and hollow which end up causing them to break much easier. Their fruit come in small nuts that bloom rarely for a short time each year. The main use of salvia is as a drug that is used as a | Salvia is a plant that is native in Mexico and Southeast Asia.

Salvia is a angiosperm that produces few to no seeds even though it is a flowering plant. The reason that it produces two seeds is because of the lack of pollen tube. Although the plant would normally be pollinated by insects or birds, the plant is mostly just pollinated by clippings that fall off of the plant. The reason for this is because of the | Salvia is a angiosperm that produces few to no seeds even though it is a flowering plant. The reason that it produces two seeds is because of the lack of pollen tube. Although the plant would normally be pollinated by insects or birds, the plant is mostly just pollinated by clippings that fall off of the plant. The reason for this is because of the inbreeding or the hybrid of the plant. The way that the plant is grown is from when the clippings start to form they take root in the ground and form a new plant. On rare occasions it reproduces due to normal ways.<ref>[http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia.shtml "The Vaults of Erowid"].Web. June 1, 2013 (Date-Accessed). </ref> | ||
Salvias reproductive structures come in the form of a flower just an any other angiosperm. Ovules that are embedded inside of the female sporophylls are then pollinated and then the gametophyte is still further reduced. Double fertilization is used to produce a diploid triploid endosperm material. The seeds that are produced are contained inside of fruit protecting the seed. <ref>[http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Sciences/BotanicalSciences/PlantReproduction/Angiosperms/Angiosperms.htm].
