Abstract

In a recent paper, Ferrer-Gallego (2015) has lectotypified the name Cistus origanifolius Lamarck (1786: 21), which is currently treated as belonging to Helianthemum Miller (1754: without page), either as H. origanifolium (Lam.) Persoon (1806: 76) subsp. origanifolium or H. marifolium (Linnaeus 1753: 526) Miller (1768: without page) subsp. origanifolium (Lam.) López González (1992: 54). It is endemic to southwestern Iberian Peninsula, though has mistakenly been cited also in North Africa (cf. Crespo et al. 2016).
