Laurel forest
Laurel forest, also called laurisilva or laurissilva, is a type of subtropical forest found in areas with high humidity and relatively stable, mild temperatures. The forest is characterized by broadleaf tree species with evergreen, glossy and elongated leaves, known as ""laurophyll"" or ""lauroid"". Plants from the laurel family (Lauraceae) may or may not be present, depending on the location.
