Echium salmanticum is a species of plant belonging to the family Boraginaceae.
Echium salmanticum was described by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and published in Tabl. Encycl. 1: 412 (1792) [1]
Perennial herb with up to 50 stems, sericeous. Stems up to 80 (-100) cm, erect or ascending, usually simple, arising from the leaf axils of a basal rosette, with simple indumentum of long, patent setae. Leaves acute, with simple indumentum of more or less patent setae; those at the base up to 45 x 5 cm, narrowly elliptic, acute, gradually tapering into a short petiole, forming a well-marked rosette; caulinar leaves up to 11 x 2.5 cm, narrowly lanceolate, slightly auriculate or cuneate at the base. Inflorescence spiciform, rarely paniculate, lax, with numerous cymes; multi-flowered cymes, elongating up to 15 cm in the fruiting. [2] Bracts of 3.5-7 x 0.6-2 mm, generally shorter than the calyx, linear-lanceolate, slightly auriculate at the base. Shortly pedicellate flowers. Calyx with lobes 3-6 x 1-1'5 (-2) mm, linear-lanceolate or lanceolate, slightly acrescent and ovate-lanceolate or narrowly ovate in fruiting, subobtuse, with simple short setae indumentum and generally some bi- or tricellular glandular hairs. Corolla of 6'5-9 (-10) mm, infundibuliform, subactinomorphic, abruptly widened at the insertion point of the stamens, with tube of 2-3'5 mm, well marked and blade of (5'5-) 6'5-8'5 (-10) mm in diameter, blue with whitish tube with short sparse hairs on almost the entire outer surface of the blade, sometimes absent. Androceo with the 5 stamens long exserted, with glabrous, reddish filaments. Nucules of 2-2.5 x 1.2-1.8 mm, slightly tuberculate-rugose, grey. 2n= 16. [2]
Echium salmanticum is an endemic plant found mainly on the Castilian plateau of the dry clayey-calcareous-subnitrophilous meso-supramediterranean floor.
It is found in community with other typical types of plants. The combination of Echium salmanticum, Carduus granatensis and Verbascum pulverulentum frequently grows on land degraded by man, such as rubble heaps, around fields and in areas close to villages. [3]

Boraginaceae, the borage or forget-me-notfamily, includes about 2,000 species of shrubs, trees, and herbs in 146 to 154 genera with a worldwide distribution.
Pulmonaria (lungwort) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, native to Europe and western Asia, with one species east to central Asia. According to various estimates there may be between 10 and 18 species found in the wild.
Nepenthes insignis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to New Guinea and surrounding islands. The specific epithet insignis is Latin for "distinguished" or "remarkable".
Echium candicans, the 'Pride of Madeira', is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, and genus Echium, native to the island of Madeira. It is a large herbaceous perennial subshrub, growing to 1.5–2.5 m.
Brunfelsia pauciflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, the nightshades. It is endemic to Brazil, and it is grown in cultivation. A shrubby perennial plant grown in gardens, its common names include today, tomorrow together, yesterday, today and tomorrow, morning-noon-and-night, kiss me quick, and Brazil raintree.
Nepenthes andamana is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Phang Nga Province, Thailand, where it grows near sea level in coastal savannah and grassland. It is thought to be most closely related to N. suratensis.
Globularia salicina is a shrub native to the archipelago of Madeira and to the central and western Canary Islands.
Dudleya attenuata is a species of perennial succulent plant known by the common name taper-tip liveforever, native to Baja California and a small portion of California. It is a rosette-forming leaf succulent which has narrow pencil-shaped leaves that can often be found covered in a white epicuticular wax. The thin, sprawling stems branch to form the clusters of rosettes, with plants creating a "clump" up to 40 cm wide. The small flowers are white or yellow, with 5 spreading petals. It is a diverse, variable species that extends from the southernmost coast of San Diego County to an area slightly north of the Vizcaino Desert, hybridizing with many other species of Dudleya in its range. Some plants with white or pinkish flowers were referred to as Orcutt's liveforever, referring to a former subspecies split on the basis of the flower color.
Echium rauwolfii is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, whose native range is North Africa to the Arabian Peninsula.
Dudleya nubigena is a species of succulent plants in the family Crassulaceae. It is a rosette forming perennial with flattish leaves. Endemic to southern Baja California Sur, the species is found in the Sierra de la Laguna and the surrounding lowlands, a small southern portion of the Sierra de la Giganta, and on Isla Espíritu Santo, with a subspecies endemic to Cerralvo Island.
Dudleya cymosasubsp. costatifolia, known commonly as the Pierpoint Springs dudleya or the Pierpoint Springs liveforever, is a species of succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae, narrowly endemic to a locality in Tulare County, California, United States. It is a clumping plant with small rosettes and bright yellow flowers, resembling alpine cushion plants.
Dudleya cymosasubsp. cymosa is a species of succulent perennial plant in the family Crassulaceae native to California. It is the autonymous subspecies for Dudleya cymosa, and is known by the common name canyon liveforever. It is native to the California Coast Ranges, the Sierra Nevada and the Santa Monica Mountains. It is characterized by bright-yellow, orange or red flowers and broad, wide leaves. This plant is commonly found growing on rocky outcrops, talus slopes, and in shaded canyons.
Myosotis albiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, native to southern Chile and Argentina. This species was described by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander in Joseph Dalton Hooker's 19th century work Flora Antarctica. Plants of this species of forget-me-not are perennial and have white corollas. It is one of two native species of Myosotis in southern South America, the other being M. antarctica.
Myosotis uniflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. Joseph Dalton Hooker described the species in 1867. Plants of this species of forget-me-not are perennial with a prostrate, compact, cushion or mat habit, short bracteate inflorescences, and cream to yellow corollas.
Echium rosulatum is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae. It is endemic to the western portion of the Iberian Peninsula in Portugal, Galicia (Spain) and the Sierra Morena. It favors acidic and somewhat nitrified soil. It has two subspecies, one native to mainland Iberia and the other one native to the Berlengas archipelago.
Myosotis goyeniisubsp. goyenii is a subspecies of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to southern South Island of New Zealand. Donald Petrie described the species M. goyenii in 1891. Plants of this subspecies of forget-me-not are perennial rosettes which form loose clumps, with ebracteate, erect inflorescences, and white corollas with partly exserted stamens.
Myosotis goyeniisubsp. infima Meudt & Heenan is a subspecies of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to central South Island of New Zealand. Heidi Meudt and Peter Heenan described this subspecies in 2021. Plants of this subspecies of forget-me-not are perennial rosettes which form caespitose clumps, with ebracteate, erect inflorescences, and white corollas with fully incluced stamens.
Myosotis traversii is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. Joseph Dalton Hooker described this species in 1864. Plants of this species of forget-me-not are perennial rosettes which form tufts or clumps, with ebracteate, erect inflorescences, and white or yellow corollas with partly exserted stamens.
Mertensia sibirica, commonly known as Japanese bluebells or Siberian bluebells, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Boraginaceae. Originally discovered by Carolus Linnaeus, who named it Pulmonaria sibirica, this plant is found, as its name implies, in Eastern Siberia and northern China. After review of the plant's morphology, its taxonomic position was changed to Mertensia sibirica by botanist and plant collector George Don, who put forth the notion of the change, which was eventually accepted, most likely due to the striking resemblance to the related species in the Americas like Mertensia virginica, or Virginia bluebells.
Myosotis × bollandica, also known as the Bowland forget-me-not, is a hybrid species of flowering plant within the genus Myosotis and family Boraginaceae. The hybrid displays an overall appearance intermediate between the parent species M. secunda and M. stolonifera.
