The classification of Salvia has long been based on the genus' unusual pollination and stamen structure, which was presumed to have evolved only once.

A 2010 phylogenetic study of Salvia divinorum and 52 other Salvia species in the subgenus Calosphace suggest that S. venulosa is the closest known relative of S. divinorum. [2] Relatively few species (out of the 600 species of Salvia occurring in Mexico and South America) were included in that study.

Salvinorin A is the main active psychotropic molecule in Salvia divinorum.Salvinorin A is considered a dissociative hallucinogen. [3] [4]It is structurally distinct from other naturally occurring hallucinogens (such as DMT, psilocybin, and mescaline) because it contains no nitrogen atoms; hence, it is not an alkaloid (and cannot be rendered as a salt), but rather is a terpenoid.
