Arum italicum subsp. canariense is a flowering plant subspecies in the family Araceae.

Arum italicum subsp. canariense differs from other subspecies in having spathe tubes that are purple on the interior, staminodes in 2 or 3 whorls (versus 4 or 5 in other subspecies), and petioles and peduncles that are dull purple instead of green.[1] Leaves and inflorescences of Madeiran plants are also reportedly larger than continental plants.[1]
