Salvia exserta
species of plant
Salvia exserta is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. 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.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Salvia exserta”, the useful work is to connect “species of plant” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 9, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q7406783. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
