Salvia parryi (Parry's sage) is a perennial subshrub that is endemic to Northern Mexico (Sonora state), southwestern New Mexico, and southern Arizona, growing at 3,500 to 5,000 ft (1,100 to 1,500 m) elevation.[1][2]
Native people used preparations of the roots to treat gastric disorders.[citation needed] Parryin is a pimarane-derived diterpene isolated from this plant. Other compounds found in this species are isopimara-8(14),15-dien-7-one, isopimara-6,8(14),15-triene and isopimara-8,15-dien-7-one.[3]
