My first thought when I saw the flower (probably wrong) was calceolaria

I don't think there are any Calceolaria in China, Roland.
A Mimulus,  I reckon.   Marvelous  hairy calyx, anyway


This from the flora may help:

Oh.... yes, of course it may be.... I feel guilty that I never think of Salvia - I don't grow any either!  :-[

That's a very nice Salvia, the color is stunning! Is it the picture or the flowers look very large?
Where in Yunnan did you see it?

The plant was only about 50 cm. I have found the plant in Lijiang at Gang Ho Ba.
We found more plants which I cannot determine.

Yes it can be salvia flava. I have found more information.

Thank you.

It's an interesting plant, but I don't think that this is Salvia flava. There is a key in the Flora of China but it is difficult to identify without more details:

Please post the other plants, it would be very interesting to see.

With best regards

Wow, that's such a cool species.  I'm assuming the name refers to a likeness to Pyrola.

Here are a couple photo links I found on this charming and unique Veronica:

In this photo, one can really see the Pyrola mimicry

Looks to me like an Ajuga, not sure which species.

Ton, I am putting your unidentified plants together in one thread and I have numbered the different plants and answers  :)

Good luck with your questions.
