Ocotea foetens

''Ocotea foetens'', commonly called til, tilo, stinkwood, or rain tree of Hierro island, is a species of tree in the Lauraceae family. It is evergreen and grows up to 40 m tall. It is a common constituent of the laurisilva forests of Madeira and the Canary Islands.〔World Conservation Monitoring Centre 1998. (''Ocotea foetens'' ). (2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. ) Downloaded on 22 August 2007.〕 It is in danger of becoming threatened due to habitat loss.〔
== Description ==

''Ocotea foetens'' is endemic to Macaronesia. Like the other species of the ''Ocotea'' genus, it is rich in essential oils, which give an unpleasant odor to the wood when freshly cut (hence the name ''foetens'', Latin for ''foul''). It is rarely used as an ornamental. It is an evergreen tree generally up to in height, although some specimens may reach . It commonly grows with multiple trunks branched from the base. The bark is rough and irregular, and dark in colour; the young branches are angular, with smooth bark, sometimes reddish in areas of recent growth. The wood is dark and hard.
The leaves are about long and wide, oblong-lanceolate to almost elliptical, acuminate at the apex and slightly indented at the base. In adult plants, the leaves are leathery in texture, glossy on both sides, darker green on the upper surface, with 2(-4) small gland-like depressions on the underside near the base. The petioles are short (up to in length).
The flowers of both sexes are white, with splashes of green and pale yellow, releasing a slight odor. The perianth has six components, and there are nine stamens. The predominant flowering season is from June to August (northern hemisphere).
The fruit is a berry, hard and fleshy and about long, its lower half covered by a dome, giving it a look similar to an acorn. The fruit is dark green, gradually darkening with maturity. The fruit has a single seed wrapped in a hard coat. When the fruits fall they separate from the dome. Germination is favored by moisture and light.
