Arbutus canariensis, known in Spanish as madroño canario, is a species of shrub or tree in the heath family. It is endemic to the Canary Islands of Spain , specifically Tenerife, La Gomera, Gran Canaria, El Hierro, and La Palma. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]

Hybrids

Arbutus x thuretiana Demoly is a hybrid between A. canariensis and A. andrachne.[3] Named after Gustave Thuret, it is naturalised at Jardin botanique de la Villa Thuret.[4] A. x thuretiana is renowned for its perfectly smooth, reddish-brown bark, exfoliating in the spring to show a new, surprisingly pistachio-green bark, which gradually darkens and turns reddish again.[3]
