I'm trying to identify a plant...i saw a similar one on tv...?

Question

and the presenter called it a "silvia" plant i think. the interpreter i got it from said she got it in east africa. it smells divine! sort of like a musky/lemon balm type smell with thick(ish) leaves which grow like mad! it thrives on sunlight and moisture but does not need too much moisture. Any ideas pls??

Answer 1

Salvia.... there are many different types of species... not sure which one.

Answer 2

I went on ask.com to see if I could find something that resembled this plant, your other answer was Salvia, so I looked this up, to find it was a African/Mexican plant, used for  'recreational purposes'  by the natives, when dried it had an hallucinatory effect, when inhaled...hmmmmm,

the things you learn on this site !!!
