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.[3]
