The Teide National Park on Tenerife is known for its unique flora, in particular the wildpret's viper's bugloss (Echium wildpretii), which characterises the landscape with its intense red to blue-violet flowers. This plant, which only occurs at altitudes of between 1,600 and 2,000 metres on the island, is a spectacular example of the endemic vegetation of the Canary Islands.
