Salvia is the entomophilous plant from the following.

• Salvia is an insect-pollinated flower, also called entomophilous flower.
• Entomophilous flowers are usually large in size, brightly coloured, emit scent and produce nectar.
• The pollen grains are sticky or spiny to enable them to be carried by the insects easily and the stigma is sticky.
