There are a number of them. S. madrensis is a tall species from Mexico. There are S. greggii x microphylla (S. x jamensis) forms that are also light yellow, such as Cienega de Oro, La Luna, Golden Girl, etc.

Then there are the related Eurasian species S. glutinosa, S. nubicola, S. glabrescens, S. koyamae, and S. flava.

Less common are species like S. austriaca.

If you want to check through a lot of sages, try Robin's Salvias
