Echium judaeum, commonly known as the Judean viper's bugloss, is an annual flowering plant endemic to southern Lebanon, southern Syria and Israel. It grows to a height of about 50 cm, with funnel-shaped flowers that bloom between February and May. The flower is bisexual, with petals measuring 25-32 mm in length and can be either lavender-coloured or pink-coloured. The simple leaves and stems of the plant are completely covered with fine bristles that protrude from dark scales. It grows in shrub lands, but also appears in deserts and is known in Arabic as Hyena's henna and in Modern Hebrew as "the serpent of Judah".
