Salvia akiensis,
a relatively newly discovered perennial
species, occurs in Shimane and Hiroshima Prefectures, with the
former inhabiting a shady countryside forest edge. The latter is
reportedly on a mountain stream. The 30-50cm tall square-in-section
stem organizes a rosette-like mass of leaves with ternate and
pentatrinate-leaves at the base. With lots of prominent hair on the
corolla, the light bluish-purple flowers come out in May in the
prefecture. |
