Persea barbujana, the Canary laurel or barbusano, is a species of tree in the laurel family, Lauraceae. It is endemic to the Macaronesian islands of Madeira (incl. Porto Santo) and the Canary Islands.[1][2] It is often placed as the sole species in genus Apollonias. Molecular phylogenic analyses found that the species is nested within the genus Persea, which also includes the Macaronesian endemic Persea indica.[3]

The La Gomera subspecies is distinct and endangered.[1][4]
