Misprint?

I am sitting here reading the 2009-2010 Hardy Plant Society/Mid-Atlantic Group Seed Exchange Catalog. A listing of Salvia microphylla X sagittata caught my eye. I presume the lister meant to write macrophylla x sagittata, but I'm not entirely sure.

Another question comes to mind. Why should I think the seeds of this hybrid will breed true? While a reversion to macrophylla would be OK since it grows very well here, the other parent does not. It gets crushed in our heat. Has anyone tried the next generation? It is very tempting to replace the macrophylla patch with it this coming year.
