Saussurea involucrata, commonly known as snow lotus, is a perennial herb native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau. It typically grows at elevations between 3,000 and 5,000 meters. The plant features large, striking purple flowers that bloom in summer and is adapted to survive harsh climatic conditions. This species is valued in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Due to its rarity and overharvesting, Saussurea involucrata is considered vulnerable, prompting conservation efforts to protect its natural habitats and ensure its survival in the wild.
