Linaria ricardoi is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae endemic to Portugal. Its scientific authority is Coutinho (Cout.). Locally known as "Linária dos Olivais" it blossoms from February to June.
Linaria ricardoi is endemic to southern Portugal in the interior of Alentejo but the species' main distribution area is in the Beja District (specifically in Redondo, Ferreira do Alentejo, Beja, Alvito, Cuba and Serpa). It is associated with grain fields such as wheat and oat and less commonly barley, fallows and meadows in traditional or mounted olive groves, rarely on embankments and side roads. It thrives in these areas to the reduced application of herbidices. It prefers clay and alkaline soils.
