x Halimiocistus
x Halimiocistus are bi-generic hybrids (i.e. each has one Cistus parent and one Halimium parent). This taxon will disappear if the distinction between Cistus and Halimium is ultimately abandoned and Halimium species are re-classified within Cistus.
The “x” preceding the name indicates this hybridity.
