Species of conifer
Juniperus canariensis is a woody plant in the family
Cupressaceae
native to the
Canary Islands and
Madeira , off the coast of Northwestern Africa.
[1]
[2]
The species was previously treated as part of
Juniperus phoenicea , which is now regarded as restricted to
Spain and
France , and later, as J. phoenicea was split into J. phoenicea and
J. turbinata , as part of J. turbinata , which is found throughout the
Mediterranean and in the
Arabian Peninsula .
[3]
Studies published in 2017 and 2018 on the genetic
[4]
[5] and morphological
[6] differences found within the J. phoenicea
species complex showed that the
Macaronesian population merited a status equivalent to that of J. phoenicea (
sensu stricto ) and J. turbinata .
