Aquilegia kanawarensis is a perennial flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to northern Pakistan and the Western Himalayas.
Aquilegia kanawarensis is native to the subalpine zone of the Western Himalayas in Pakistan and India. It grows in rock fissures and humid grassy areas at elevations around 3,000–3,500 m (9,800–11,500 ft).
In the Theeing and Parishing valleys of Astore District in Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan, Aquilegia kanawarensis is known as shash and valued as an ornamental plant. It is also used medicinally in these areas as a decoction to induce perspiration, promote urination, treat urinary tract infections, combat parasites, and as an astringent and a purifying agent.
