Ecological interactions

Native status

macaronesian endemic

Distribution

Madeira archipelago, Canary Islands

Notes

This macaronesian endemic is widespread in the Laurisilva of Madeira island. L. Crespo has examined the material cited as Lathys affinis from the Canary Islands, deposited at the Senckenberg Naturmuseum of Frankfurt, and questions their species affiliation. Additional taxonomic analyses are thus needed to clarify the taxonomic status of the Canary Islands specimens.
