Salvia nubicola is a perennial herb found in various regions including Afghanistan, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, southwest Asia, and Europe. It grows in dry forests at high elevations and is commonly found in the Muktinath Valley. This plant has been used in traditional Tibetan medicine and its name, which means "dweller among the clouds," reflects its mountain habitat. It was previously thought to be the same as the European Salvia glutinosa. Salvia nubicola has fresh-green triangular leaves and can reach up to 3 feet in height and width. Its inflorescences hold pale yellow flowers with maroon markings and have a distinct medicinal odor. The plant's sticky and glandular calyx also contributes to its animal-repelling properties.
