One question seems to be which is the correct spelling of the
specific epithet. Both seem to be widely used.

There are 19 600 Google hit for the one versus 412 for the other.
I'd say that is pretty overwhelming in favor of the one spelling

FWIW, here's an extract from a search for "Salvia" on the Australian
Plant Name Index (APNI) maintained by the Australian National
Herbarium at http://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni
