Formainal is a fictional plant species appearing in the worldbuilding of the science fiction series *Star Trek*. It is native to the planet Vulcan. Formainal is characterized by its vibrant crimson foliage, which is a distinctive visual feature of the Vulcan landscape. The plant is known to be quite resilient, capable of thriving in Vulcan's harsh desert environment, which includes high temperatures and limited water availability.

In the *Star Trek* canon, Formainal is sometimes mentioned as a native flora that contributes to the unique ecological makeup of Vulcan. It is not typically depicted as having significant medicinal or practical uses for other species, but rather serves as an element that enriches the alien environment. Its appearance is often used to evoke the exotic and arid nature of Vulcan.
