There are several species of Salvia that grow in Europe, Asia, and Africa: "Sage, otherwise known by the genus name Salvia, has become extremely popular in low water use landscapes throughout the Southwest. Their brilliant colors, along with the various shapes and textures, make them particularly useful in area landscapes. The many species in current use today come from various parts of the world, including Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa..." http://ag.arizona.edu/pinal/horticulture/homehorticulture/currentissues/groundcovers/salvia/ Several European, African and Asian species are mentioned here: http://www.seedhunt.com/salvia.htm |

Turkey is accepted to be the primary or the secondary genetic center for some plant groups at the level of genus or species. The following are among the genera whose genetic center is considered to be in Turkey: Achillea, Allium, Astragalus, Centaurea, Draba, Iris, Salvia, Verbascum http://www.mfa.gov.tr/grupc/ca/caa/uu/e1010.htm I guess they all began growing somewhere, but it could be before humans had any influence. |
