Cistus ochreatus is a shrubby species of flowering plant in the family Cistaceae, with purple-pink flowers. It is sometimes treated as synonymous with Cistus symphytifolius or with its subspecies C. symphytifolius subsp. leucophyllus. It is endemic to Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands.
Description
Cistus ochreatus has ovate leaves with three main veins and a short stalk (petiole). The flowers are purple, with styles longer than the stamens.[3] It resembles Cistus symphytifolius, but has smaller flowers,[4] and its leaves have a whitish appearance due to a covering of fine hairs.[2]
Taxonomy
The name Cistus ochreatus originates from Christen Smith,[1] who collected plants in the Canary Islands. Smith died in 1816.[5] In 1819 (i.e. after Smith's death), the name and description were published by Christian Leopold von Buch, attributed to "Dr Smith's notes".[6] Smith differentiated C. ochreatus from Cistus symphytifolius (which he called C. vaginatus), noting that it had smaller flowers.[4]
An alternative name for the taxon derives ultimately from Édouard Spach, who in 1836 published a description of Rhodocistus berthelotianus,[7] including variety leucophyllus. Rhodocistus berthelotianus was later synonymized with Cistus symphytifolius, and Günther Kunkel transferred the variety as the subspecies C. symphytifolius subsp. leucophyllus.[8] Smith's name Cistus ochreatus is considered to be a synonym of C. symphytifolius or its subspecies leucophyllus by some sources;[1][2] others accept it as an independent species.[9][10]
A 2011 molecular phylogenetic study placed C. horrens as a member of the purple and pink flowered clade of Cistus species, along with some other Canary Island endemics.[10]
Distribution and habitat
Cistus ochreatus is endemic to Gran Canaria,[10] where it is found in pine forests at altitudes of 860–1,400 metres (2,820–4,590 ft), in a climate described as "subhumid" and "temperate-warm".[3]
