Spreng. Persea indica is a species of plant in the Lauraceae family. It is found in the Azores , Madeira , and Canary Islands in Macaronesia . It is threatened by habitat loss . Overview The Family Lauraceae was part of Gondwana land flora. There they spread over most of the continent. The genus Persea died out in increasingly xerophytic Africa, starting with the freezing of Antarctica about 20 million years ago and the formation of the Benguela current. Died out in Africa, except for Persea indica, surviving in the fog shrouded mountains of the Canary Islands, which with Madagascar constitutes Africa s Laurel forest plant refugia. Fossil evidence indicates that the genus originated in West Africa during the Paleocene , and spread to Asia, to South America, and to Europe and thence to North America . It is thought that the gradual drying of Africa, west Asia, and the Mediterranean from the Oligocene to the Pleistocene , and the glaciation of Europe during the Pleistocene, caused the extinction of the genus across these regions, resulting in the present distribution. Persea indica is a species exclusive of Laurisilva , since this habitat is constantly threatened by encroching agriculture, the laurel forest animal or vegetal species had already become rare in many of its former habitats and are threatened by habitat loss.

Lovis Lovis , Helga and or Kurt Rasbach & Tadeus Reichstein Reichstein 1977 Asplenium azoricum is a fern from hybrid origin of the Aspleniaceae family, descendent of the Macaronesia n ancestral fern Asplenium anceps . It lives exclusively in the Azores , that is a strict endemic Azorean fern. Its fronds are coriaceous like plastic and its rachis is very thick, dark garnet color and brilliance. A typical feature of this fern, which it shares with all the descendants of A. anceps , is the existence of a small atrium at the base of the medium and lower pinnae geared towards the apex of the frond with one or two sorus sori in its underside. Habitat It lives among the stones of the walls of the terraces and in the crevices of volcanic rocks oriented to the north and northwest. Depending of the degree of exposure to the sun, its phenotype changes a lot, becoming more coriaceous the more sunlight it receives. Distribution It lives in the nine Azores Islands.

The describers suggest that the most likely cause of extinction was human settlement of Madeira in the early 15th century, with its associated habitat destruction and the introduced species introduction of alien species .
