Salvia schizocalyx (the Burmese cleft sage) is a perennial plant that is native to Yunnan province in China, growing at 4000m (13,000feet) elevation. The plant grows on one to a few unbranched upright stems with widely spaced leaves, reaching approximately 45cm (18inches) tall. The leaves are broadly ovate to narrowly triangular-ovate, and rarely oblong-ovate, typically ranging in size from 2to long and 1.2to wide, though they can grow larger.
Inflorescences are 2–4-flowered verticillasters on terminal racemes, with a blue or violet corolla that is 2to long.[1]
