Salvia hylocharis

Salvia hylocharis is a perennial plant that is native to Xizang and Yunnan provinces in China, growing on grassy slopes, forest margins, and streamsides at 2800 to 4000 m elevation. S. hylocharis grows on one or two ascending to erect stems to 45 to 90 cm tall. The leaves are ovate-triangular to ovate-hastate, typically ranging in size from 3 to 8.5 cm long and approximately 8.5 cm wide, though they sometimes are larger.

Inflorescences are racemes or raceme-panicles up to 25 cm, with a yellow corolla that is 3.5 to 3.8 cm, occasionally smaller.
