Salvia subincisa, the sawtooth sage or sharptooth sage, is a small erect Salvia species that is native to New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas in the United States.[1][2] It is typically found growing in sandy areas near roadsides or other arid parts of the American southwest. It is very often associated with Pueblo ruins in New Mexico, along with Cleome serrulata and Lithospermum caroliniense.[3]

Salvia subincisa has deep purple flowers with white markings inside, above small opposite leaves. It is similar, though smaller, than Salvia reflexa.
