Cytisus supranubius

Cytisus supranubius is a species of broom endemic to the Canary Islands. This species is found at about 2000m altitude on Tenerife in Las Cañadas del Teide and on mountain tops on La Palma.

Etymology

The species name "supranubius" comes from the Latin "supra", which means "above" and "nubius", which means "clouds", referring to the fact that this species is found at high altitudes on the islands of Tenerife and La Palma, above the height of the so-called "sea of clouds".
