Pride of Madeira (Echium candicans), is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, which is native to the island of Madeira. It is a large herbaceous perennial subshrub. In the first year after germination, the plant produces a broad rosette of leaves. In the second and subsequent years, more or less woody flowering stalks are produced clothed in rough leaves. Many flowers and bracts are in a dense, narrow, elongated inflorescence. The hermaphrodite, sessile flowers are colored blue or purple, and would appear from spring to summer. The corolla is blue to violet, often with a white stripe on each apex.
