Sorry I wrote leaf shape reversed. Here is correct one: I think it is S. splendens, the flowers are smaller in S. cocinea
S. splendens: leaves 5-9 cm long, ovate, acuminate, flowers 4-5 cm long S. coccinea: leaves 2.5-5 cm long; acute, trianglar-ovate, flowers 2-2.5 cm long. Here is my upload from Delhi of S. coccinea https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/indiantreepix/Salvia$20coccinea/indiantreepix/LmozTCtQ1MA/RarzGqgo4psJ -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
