Salvia exserta is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae.[1][2] It is an annual herb that is native to the Rio Grande basin in Bolivia, and south into Argentina. It grows in stony ground in dry woodland at 1,300 to 2,700 m (4,300 to 8,900 ft) elevation.
S. exserta reaches up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) high, with long petiolate leaves that are 3 to 12 cm (1.2 to 4.7 in) by 2 to 12 cm (0.79 to 4.72 in). The inflorescence of terminal racemes is 5 to 30 cm (2.0 to 11.8 in) long, with a red corolla that is 1.7 to 2.8 cm (0.67 to 1.10 in). The corolla has an upper lip that is much longer than the lower.[3]
