The Atlas Cypress (Cupressurs atlantica) is endemic in Morocco where it is
the only natural representative of its type. Its present stands are
preforestral or presteppic formations and are all deteriorated. They are
locally pure and sometimes mixed, infiltrated with red Junipers, Oxycedar
Juniper, Barbery Thuya or green Oak. Their surface area is estimated
to 6,000 ha.
