Hello, Hafspajen. Thanks for your recent edits. I thought someone told me it avoid galleries. Is that untrue, or maybe there's an exception for articles about plants? RO (talk) 17:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
J Milburn, I noticed you made this edit: ( [2]), an improvement for sure, but where's the botany section of GA? RO (talk) 21:18, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Unless there is some established WP exception for plants, I think you should use double rather than single quotes (see MoS) for the plant names such as 'Longin', 'Little Spire' etc' That apart, which please consider, I can see no respect in which this article fails to meet the GA criteria. The coverage seems full and balanced, there are ample references from a range of impressive sources, and the pictures are lovely and properly documented.
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This strikes me as a fine piece of work, and I am happy to promote it. Tim riley talk 15:40, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
Hey, Plantdrew. I noticed that you restored some taxonomy items to the infobox: ( [4]). I had removed those because they were unsourced, so are these okay to leave in without sourcing in the article body, or should I dig up an RS and add it to the article? RO (talk) 17:19, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Hey Plant Fans, Perovskia is one genus that was recently reclassified within Salvia ( [5]). I don't have time to make changes within the article, since it mentions throughout that it's not really a sage despite the common name, but now it is. I may get back to it at some point, but if someone else gets to it before me, both Perovskia and Rosemarinus need to reflect this change in classification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.161.255.31 ( talk) 20:47, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
the definitive source of all things taxonomic. Plants of the World Online (PoWO) is more up-to-date and better curated, but equally is not
the definitive source. Our task is to report in the text of articles what all reliable up-to-date sources say, but for article titles and taxoboxes, we have to choose one alternative. Except for ferns, we generally use PoWO for this. Peter coxhead ( talk) 08:04, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, almost all the photographs are of Salvia 'Blue Spire', which is generally considered to be a hybrid between this species (S. yangii) and S. abrotanoides, not actually S. yangii. The leaves of the cultivar/hybrid are deeply lacinate, unlike those of the species (although it is variable).
So I think the botanical drawing should be moved to the taxobox, since this is the only image that I can be sure of. Peter coxhead ( talk) 09:26, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Salvia yangii is very rarely cultivated. Most plants we find in gardens are a hybrid recognised in 2021: Salvia × floriferior. (In Europe, this hybrid has also sometimes been referred to by the unplaced taxon Perovskia × hybrida or its synonym P. × superba.) See Dendrologia, ed. 13: 730 (2021). Since this article is principally concerned with the species "cultivars" (i.e. the hybrid), I think it should be renamed and a new article started for S. yangii.
