Abstract

Two new species of Salvia, exclusively endemics to Durango, Mexico, are described and illustrated. Salvia albicalyx is similar to Salvia leucantha, especially in habit, but it can be distinguished by floral bracts, pedicel, calyx and corolla size, corolla color, and lower corolla lip shape. Salvia topiensis resembles Salvia decora, but differs in various aspects: cuneate to long-attenuate blade bases; larger floral bracts, calyces, corollas and fruits; more crowded inflorescences; and internally epapillate corolla tubes.
