Salvia africana-lutea, also known as beach salvia, dune salvia, golden salvia, bruin- of sandsalie, and geelblomsalie, is a shrubby evergreen perennial native to South Africa. It has woody stems and grey-green leaves, growing to over 1 meter in height and width. The flowers are initially bright yellow, but turn rusty in color, with a dark rusty-colored calyx that remains even after fruiting. This plant is found in coastal sand dunes and hills along the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, and Northern Cape in South Africa. Its name, "lutea", meaning yellow, was given by early European botanists who believed that the flowers were only yellow. S. africana-lutea has been used by both European settlers and traditional indigenous healers to treat respiratory ailments, influenza, gynecological issues, fever, headaches, and digestive disorders.
