Rank Reasons
Salvia eremostachya occurs in California and Baja California, Mexico. In California, it is known from Riverside and San Diego counties where it is found in Sonora Desert scrub on rocky or gravelly soil (CNPS 2001). In Baja California, Mexico Wiggins (1980) indicates that it is chiefly found on the east flank of the Sierra Juarez south to Sierra San Borja; it occurs in these places on rocky hillsides, slopes and mesas.
