Stems ascending to c. 50 cm, unbranched, retrorsely eglandular-pilose to pubescent, with or without villous hairs. Leaves pinnatisect with an oblong elliptic terminal segment c. 2-4 x 0.4-0.6 cm and two smaller pairs of lateral segments, pilose with sessile glands, not rugose, entire to serrulate; petiole 0.7-2.6 cm, ciliate. Verticillasters(2-)4-10-flowered, approximating or not. Bracts ovate-acuminate, 7-12x3-5 mm; bracteoles present. Pedicels 4-7 mm. Calyx campanulate, 10-15 mm, to c. 12-17 mm in fruit, pilose to villous with numerous sessile glands, often strongly violet-coloured. Corolla lilac-pink to violet, 20-24 mm; tube c. 14 mm, annulate; upper lip straight. Stamens A. Nutlets round trigonous, ovoid, c. 3 x 2.2 mm. Fl. 6-8. Rocky limestone and igneous slopes, in Quercetum screes, loamy hills, fieldsides, 500-2350 m.   Type: [Turkey] in Armenia legit Tournefort ('Salvia armenia foliis alatis crenatis minoribus odores mari', nolo.

Erzurum: Ağri to Horasan, 1800 m, Lamond 2589! B9 Ağri: Karaköse, Aktas köyü, T. Baytop (ISTE 4795)!   Endemic. Ir.-Tur. element. Closest to S. huberi (q.v.); also allied to the geographically distant S. pisidica, but with generally larger green leaf segments, more verticillasters in the inflorescence and usually strongly violet-coloured calyces. An incomplete specimen from C1O (Hakkari, above Ziri, S. of Cilo Da., 2130 m, Trelawny 1819!) probably represents a new species related to S. rosifolia; it differs in the larger broader terminal leaf segments and in having only one pair of lateral segments. More material of it is needed.
