Dear Annette,
Do not bother with my silly questions. I had a better look at your pictures and my doc. This is very likely S. micrantha and probably var. Blodgettii which is found from Florida to West-Indies including Cuba. Morphologically, it is not far from S. cayamensis that you have except the corolla upper lip completly covers the stamins and the flowers are a litlle smaller. To be sure, could you post a picture as the one given as an exemple (this is Salvia tubifera taken on the field) with ruler, one leave with its whole petiole and a flower put appart showing the stamins, the style, the inside of the tube. Thank you. Christian
