Salvia sordida is a rare perennial shrub endemic to a very small area in Colombia, along an old road from Bogota to La Caro, growing at elevation in scrub next to streams. The plant reaches up to tall, with the entire plant whitish-green in color. The ovate leaves are small— long and wide—and grey tomentose underneath. The inflorescence has short, dense, terminal racemes, with a purple corolla. Flowers also grow in the axils of the upper leaves. It is the most threatened of all Colombia species in the family Labiatae. Notes sordida Flora of Colombia Plants described in 1846
