Rhamnus integrifolia, known as moralito, is a small evergreen shrub endemic to the Canary Islands, found only on Tenerife in the Cumbres and Barrancos south of the island. It is rarely grown in gardens, so it is best suited to a mild, dry climate that resembles its native Mediterranean scrub habitat.
