Portugal 2000 Madeira Plantas da Floresta Laurissilva da Madeira Património da UNESCO herencia heritage loureiro visco

Mundifil n.º 2714 e 2716 ( - 50 % de valor de catálogo mundifil)

A floresta Laurissilva da ilha da Madeira constitui na atualidade o remanescente de um coberto florestal primitivo que resistiu a cinco séculos de humanização. Segundo narrativas contemporâneas da descoberta da Madeira (1420), toda a ilha era coberta de extenso e denso arvoredo, razão pela qual os navegadores portugueses lhe atribuíram o nome de "Madeira".

Trata-se de uma floresta com características subtropicais, húmida, cuja origem remonta ao Terciário onde chegou a ocupar vastas extensões do Sul da Europa e da bacia do Mediterrâneo. As últimas glaciações levaram ao seu desaparecimento no continente europeu, sobrevivendo apenas nos arquipélagos atlânticos dos Açores, da Madeira e das Canárias.

A Laurissilva madeirense ocupa uma superfície de 15000 hectares (representando 20% do total da ilha), nas encostas viradas a Norte, revestindo de forma luxuriante as íngremes vertentes e os profundos e alcantilados vales do remoto interior, representando nos nossos dias a mais extensa e a melhor conservada Laurissilva das ilhas atlânticas. Alberga numerosos endemismos, principalmente a nível dos estratos arbustivos e herbáceos. É de realçar também a grande diversidade e desenvolvimento que apresentam as comunidades de líquenes e de briófitos, principalmente as epífitas.

Laurus nobilis is an aromatic evergreen tree or large shrub with green, glabrous leaves, in the flowering plant family Lauraceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region and is used as bay leaf for seasoning in cooking.
Viscum album, Viscum album is a species of mistletoe in the family Santalaceae, commonly known as European mistletoe, common mistletoe or simply as mistletoe. It is native to Europe and western and southern Asia. Viscum album is a hemiparasite on several species of trees, from which it draws water and nutrients.
