鼠尾草屬是唇形科下最大的一個屬，包括大約1000種植物[1]，廣泛分布在全球各地的溫帶和熱帶地區，既有草本也有灌木或亞灌木，大多數品種集中在亞洲。 [2]其中有許多品種可以入藥或作為觀賞花卉。[3]
鼠尾草屬植物的花有明顯特點，其花萼鐘形，分為兩唇，上唇有三齒，下唇有二齒；花冠筒形，也分為兩唇，上唇完整，下唇有三裂，中裂最長；有兩個能育雄蕊和兩個退化的不育雄蕊；果實為小堅果。
該屬植物槓桿狀雄蕊（lever-like stamen）結構與傳粉者形成了槓桿式背部傳粉（dorsal pollination）的互作機制[4]。
屬名Salvia源於拉丁語salveo，意為「救助」，指本屬植物多供入藥。

鼠尾草屬的拉丁名稱來源與拉丁語的「治療」（salvare）一詞，在古代的地中海和小亞細亞半島早已經應用其作為草藥。[9]其中丹參（Salvia miltiorrhiza）是重要的中藥，而美洲的印第安人也早已經知道用鼠尾草屬植物作為草藥，部分芳香品種還可以提取芳香油。[10][11][12][13]
