Echium vulcanorum

Echium vulcanorum is a species of flowering plants of the family Boraginaceae.

[4] The oil of its seeds contains γ-linolenic acid, and is used for medicinal and dietary purposes.

Each funnel-shaped blossom has blue streaks radiating from its center and is pearly white with a length of little under an inch.

Echium vulcanorum is a long-lived species that flower beautifully for several years, in contrast to many Echium species that only flower once before dying.

[6] Echium vulcanorum is restricted to the island of Fogo, where it occurs between 1,600 and 2,400 m elevation, in semi-arid zones.
