La floración es abundante, disponiéndose las flores en racimos. Los frutos son ovoides y alargados, con una cúpula corta y adquiriendo en la madurez un color negruzco.
Hábitat: Es una especie característica del bosque de laurisilva junto al til y al laurel. Lo conforman especies arbóreas de la familia de las lauráceas, que junto al fayal – brezal compone el denominado monteverde. Presenta suelos profundos y es característico de las medianías septentrionales influidas por las brumas de los alisios, carentes de heladas, con precipitaciones de 500 a 1.100 mm y una temperatura media anual de entre 15 y 19 ºc. El barbusano es una especie característica de los ambientes más secos y termófilos de los bosques de laurisilva. Es endémica de los archipiélagos macaronésicos, excepto en Lanzarote.
