Usefulness of Indiantreepix Database- an example of Salvia coccinea cultivar

[J.M. Garg]

I was trying to figure out the name of this plant since yesterday in books etc. but failed.
I finally decided to process its images & post them. I even attached the images as 'Unidentified Plant...'

But finally decided to try my luck with Indiantreepix Database & searched on 'coccinea' as I recalled something like that based on its colour.

It only took me a few seconds to find my plant. 

That's how our database is really useful.

Hi, Vijaydas ji.

I am a bit confused by your remarks.

Do you mean to say that my posted plant is S.officianalis?

Thanks, Vjiaydas ji, for correcting me.

Yes Garg ji 

It is Salvia splendens. S. coccinea has smaller flowers and calyx different coloured than corolla. S. officinalis has still smaller usually blue flowers.
