Salvia hians is a mound forming perennial, native to the Himalayas from Pakistan to Bhutan. It is common in Kashmir, growing at 2400 to 4000 m on open slopes and forests.

Salvia hians forms a mound reaching 3 ft m by 2 ft m wide. The leaves are typically lanceolate, slightly hairy, and grow up to 10 in cm long. The flowering stems are held well above the foliage, with dusky violet flowers spaced at the end of the stem. The small calyx (less that .5 in cm ) is very sticky and an unusual dark brownish red color. The flower has a gap between the two lips, described by the specific epithet, hians, which means 'gaping'.[1]

In India, the roots of S. hians are used as a stimulant; in Nepal they are reportedly used as a remedy for dysentery.[2]
