Salvia transsylvanica (Schur ex Griseb.) Schur

Flora Europaea perennial, H xeric to mesoxeric, forest-steppe species Dacian endemic Festucion valesiacae R34 habitats       This species is quite frequent (insullary missing) in the drier central and southern part of the Transylvanian Basin and outside this region it is locally reported from the Getic and Curvature Subcarpathians. Despite this species is clearly very closely related to Salvia pratensis and their populations get in touch frequently no hybrids are reported yet even by the authors who had a passion from describing them legitimally or not.
