Pericallis echinata is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. [1] It is native to Tenerife in the Canary Islands. [2]
Pericallis echinata is an upright herbaceous perennial plant, growing to 30–50 cm (12–20 in). The leaves are rounded in shape, with toothed margins. The inflorescence is composed of 5–15 heads of flowers, each about 2–5 cm (0.79–1.97 in) across, with 11–14 pink ray florets. [2]
Pericallis echinata is endemic to the Canary Islands. It is found in the north-west of Tenerife. On the north coast, large numbers of plants may be found locally in Cistus scrub and on rocky slopes. It is found much less often in the south of the island. [2]
Limonium is a genus of 120 flowering plant species. Members are also known as sea-lavender, statice, caspia or marsh-rosemary. Despite their common names, species are not related to the lavenders or to rosemary. They are instead in Plumbaginaceae, the plumbago or leadwort family. The generic name is from the Latin līmōnion, used by Pliny for a wild plant and is ultimately derived from the Ancient Greek leimon.
Pericallis × hybrida, known as cineraria, florist's cineraria or common ragwort is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It originated as a hybrid between Pericallis cruenta and P. lanata, both natives of the Canary Islands. The hybrid was first developed in the British royal gardens in 1777. It was originally known as Cineraria × hybrida, but the genus Cineraria is now restricted to a group of South African species, with the Canary Island species being transferred to the genus Pericallis; some botanists also treat it in a broad view of the large and widespread genus Senecio. Some varieties are sold under the trade name Senetti.
Pericallis is a small genus of 14 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the Canary Islands, Madeira and Azores. The genus includes herbaceous plants and small subshrubs. In the past, the genus was often included in either Cineraria or Senecio.
Echium wildpretii is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae. It is an herbaceous biennial plant that grows up to 3 m (10 ft) in height.

Hybrids derived from this species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants in private gardens and public parks in many countries, and have naturalized in Italy and southern California. There are many cultivars, but the most common has white petals.

Aeonium canariense is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is endemic to the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where it grows on dry slopes and cliffs in the north of the island from sea level to about 1300m. It forms large rosettes of leaves close to the ground but the spikes of yellow flowers stand up to 70 cm tall.
Aeonium urbicum is a succulent species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is endemic to Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, where it frows on the north of the island from Teno point to the Anaga peninsula.
