T22 Mainland laurophyllous forest
Patches of evergreen laurophyllous forests and thickets dominated by bay (Laurus nobilis), firetree (Morella faya) and Portugal laurel (Prunus lusitanica subsp. lusitanica) in oceanic and hyper-humid situations, now surviving as small relics in sheltered situations like ravines along the Atlantic coast of Portugal and Spain and in Sardinia, southern Italy and Sicily. Typically species-poor with an associated flora similar to T21.
