'Cistus × crispatus' from the website Trees and Shrubs Online (treesandshrubsonline.
Cistus × crispatus Warb. is not recognised by IPNI (16/4/2025), which lists Cistus × crispatus Danseraeau (1941). The name is currently unplaced (POWO 2025).
An artificial hybrid between C. crispus and C. creticus first raised at Antibes by Bornet. Sir Oscar Warburg had a form (from a repetition of the cross, also made at Antibes) which was a very attractive spreading shrub, with flowers of a good pink.
