Concept: Genus Salvia belongs to the family Lamiaceae. They are characterized by staminal level of mechanism which helps in transferring pollen grains in them.
It has an unusual pollination mechanism when a pollinator probes a small stage of flower for nectar. The thin ligament between connective and filament forms a joint which is divided into upper and lower arms. A pollinator searching for a hector pushes back the lower arms to allow pollen sacs at the end of the upper lever arms to be passed onto the pollinator’s head or back. Saliva is classified by their pollination mechanisms based on floral traits. Both, staminal structure, and pollen deposition occur into the body of bees.
