'''''Salvia przewalskii''''' is a herbaceous perennial plant native to the Chinese provinces of [[Gansu]], [[Hubei]], [[Sichuan]], [[Xizang]], and [[Yunnan]], typically growing along stream banks, forest edges, among shrubs, and on granitic hillsides. It was described and named in 1881 by the Russian botanist [[Carl Maximowicz]] after the Russian explorer and botanist [[Nikolai Przhevalsky]], who made several collecting trips to China in the 1800s. The plant is widely known throughout its native habitat for its medicinal properties.<ref name="Clebsch">{{cite book|last=Clebsch|first=Betsy|coauthors=Carol D. Barner|title=The New Book of Salvias|publisher=Timber Press|date=2003|page=230|isbn=9780881925609|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=NM0iwB8GrQYC&pg=PA230}}</ref> ''Salvia przewalskii'' forms a basal clump of yellow-green leaves 1 to 2 feet (30 to 61 cm) high and wide, with flowering stalks rising 3 feet (91.4 cm) above the plant. The 6-12 inch (15 to 30 cm) leaves, with long petioles, have distinct veins on the underside. The inflorescence is branched, with widely spaced whorls of flowers opening a few at once. The 1 inch (2.54 cm) flowers are fat, with an unusual purple-red or red-brown color. The calyx is hairy and glandular, red-brown and two-lipped. It is usually seen only in botanical gardens, though seeds have become available for gardeners since the 1980s.<ref name="Clebsch"/> Botanists have segregated the species into four varieties, distinguished by leaf shape and differences in the hairs covering the foliage. {{Inc| Salvia przewalskii, Maxim.
