Abstract In order to clarify the relationship between Salvia officinalis L., S. fruticosa Mill., and S. tomentosa Mill., interspecific crosses were made and were followed by a study of chromosome behaviour, pollen fertility, seed set, and essential oil composition of parents and F1 plants. The data presented show that although the three tested Salvia species have low crossability they are closely related.
