Salvia x superba is a catchall for blue garden salvias with unclear
parentage. but probably Salvia nemerosa, Salvia pratensis, and some
other goodies.
Hortus III says Salvia nemerosa isn't in cultivation -- most stuff sold
as S. nemerosa is S. x superba or S. x sylvestris (=S. pratensis x S.
nemerosa).
