The seed dispersal mechanisms of Salvia species are reviewed, with particular attention to quantitative or experimental evidence of dispersal. Despite having rather uniform fruit morphology, Salvia has several dispersal mechanisms: dispersal of mericarps by water (hydrochory), wind (anemochory), animals (zoochory) or gravity (barochory). Cases of myrmecochory are highlighted, along with dispersal by the plant itself via springy or hygroscopic pedicels. Despite having no visible means of dispersal, many Salvia species disperse for short to medium distances. Many gaps in our knowledge of dispersal exist, despite the fact that knowledge of dispersal mechanisms is critical in evaluating invasive potential, conservation status, usefulness in habitat restoration, and geographic distribution.

Salvia L.（唇形科）的果实和种子传播：证据回顾

审查了鼠尾草物种的种子传播机制，特别注意传播的定量或实验证据。尽管具有相当统一的果实形态，但鼠尾草有几种传播机制：通过水（水草）、风（风火草）、动物（动物草）或重力（气压）传播分果。突出了 myrmecochory 的案例，以及植物本身通过弹性或吸湿的花梗传播。尽管没有可见的传播方式，但许多鼠尾草物种会在中短距离内传播。尽管散布机制的知识对于评估入侵潜力、保护状况、栖息地恢复的有用性和地理分布至关重要，但我们对散布的了解仍存在许多差距。
