 | Flower colour: white |
| Flower diameter: 1.8 - 2.8cm. Many-flowered inflorescences. |
| Height & Spread: 1.25m x 1m |
| Habit: rounded |
| Notes: Newly-discovered species endemic to Gran Canaria, restricted to a handful of sites. Superficially similar to the Canary Island form of C. monspeliensis. One population I have seen had a mixture of plants, some of which had distinctly grey-green leaves, while others were quite green. At another site it was showing a character unique among cistus in that it was re-sprouting after a wild fire (see bottom photograph). |

| Cultivars: |
In the wild, showing variation in foliage colour
Regeneration after fire both from seeds and by re-sprouting
