[[File:Salvia microphylla neurepia.jpg|thumb|right|''Baby sage'', ''Salvia microphylla'']]
'''Salvia microphylla''' ('''Baby sage, Graham's sage, Blackcurrant sage''') is a perennial shrub found in the wild in southeastern Arizona and the mountains of eastern, western, and southern Mexico. It is a very complex species which easily hybridizes, resulting in numerous hybrids and cultivars brought into horticulture since the 1990s. The specific epithet microphylla, from the Greek, means "small leaved". In Mexico, it is called "mirto de montes," or "myrtle of the mountains."
