'''''Salvia chiapensis''''' ('''Chiapas sage''') is a herbaceous perennial native to the province of [[Chiapas]], Mexico, growing between 7000-9500 feet elevation in [[cloud forest]]s. It was introduced to horticulture in the 1980s, probably as a result of a collecting trip by the University of California Botanical Garden, Berkeley. Chiapas sage grows about 1.5-2 ft tall and wide, with several stems growing out of the rootstock. The 3 inch long and 1.5 inch wide elliptic shaped leaves are ivy-green, glossy, and deeply veined, growing widely spaced along the stem. The flowers are bright fuchsia, with 3-6 flowers growing in whorls, widely spaced along the inflorescence. The flower is .75 in long and covered in hairs, with a .5 in long pea-green calyx.<ref name="Clebsch">{{cite book|last=Clebsch|first=Betsy|coauthors=Carol D.
