Members of Cistaceae are widely cultivated, especially cultivars of hybrids and species of Cistus, Crocanthemum, Halimium (Dunal) Spach, and Helianthemum Miller.</p><!-- --><p>Hairs on Cistaceae plants may be simple or stellate (comprising tight clusters or tufts of simple, unbranched hairs) and glandular or eglandular.</p><!-- --><p>Two species of Cistaceae have been collected in the flora area as waifs. Helianthemum nummularium Miller is known from Colorado, Missouri, and Oregon; it differs from species of Crocanthemum by the combination of glabrous abaxial surfaces of sepals and stellate-tomentose ovaries. Helianthemum salicifolium (Linnaeus) Miller is known from New York; it differs from species of Crocanthemum by its opposite leaves and erect, curved pedicels.</p> |tables= |references={{Treatment/Reference |id=arrington2003a |text=Arrington, J.
