Lush undergrowth of Ortigon (Urtica morifolia) endemic nettle, fayal brezal type Laurisylve on the island of El Hierro, Canary Islands. This type of humid forest is found on very humid ridges subject to the trade winds, causing a "horizontal rain" of nearly 1500 mm/year and is dominated by lauraceae, ferns and mosses. Many of the species are endemic and the entire island of El Hierro is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Laurisilva de tipo fayal brezal en la isla de El Hierro, Canarias. Exuberante sotobosque de Ortigon (Urtica morifolia) ortiga endémica - Este tipo de bosque húmedo se encuentra en crestas muy húmedas sometidas a los vientos alisios, lo que provoca una "lluvia horizontal" de casi 1500 mm/año y está dominado por lauráceas, helechos y musgos. Muchas de las especies son endémicas y toda la isla de El Hierro es Reserva de la Biosfera de la UNESCO.
