Rhamnus glandulosa is a species of plant in the family Rhamnaceae.[3] It is endemic to Madeira and the Canary Islands.[4]
Rhamnus glandulosa is a small tree usually 5 to 8 metres (16 to 26 ft) but can grow up to 10 metres (33 ft) tall in a good condition Laurisilva forest.[4]
It has a gray trunk and leathery evergreen leaves sawn, with small glands in the axils of the veins. The flowers are yellow-green, arranged in clusters, and the fruit is a globose drupe, purple-black when ripe.[citation needed]
