We have much pleasure in naming this very distinct Salvia 
after Mr. C. J. Maximowicz, whose labours on the botany of the 
far East extend over a period of nearly forty years, and are 
invaluable to those who have followed him. 
Its exact affinity is not obvious, for it does not agree in all 
particulars with any of the proposed sections. The abruptly 
acuminate upper lip of the calyx and the almost obsolete annulus 
in the corolla-tube are peculiar. Thin, orbicular-cordate, thickly 
serrate or crenate leaves, and a loose inflorescence with geminate, 
or rather solitary flowers in the axils of the opposite bracts, 
characterize the species.
