--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs,</b> annual or perennial, subshrubs, or shrubs, usually hairy. <b>Leaves</b> alternate, opposite, or whorled, usually estipulate, sometimes stipulate (<i>Tuberaria</i>), stipules caducous, petiolate or sessile; blade 1- or 3- [5-]veined from base, not lobed, sometimes scalelike, margins entire [crenate, serrate], sometimes revolute and/or undulate. <b>Inflorescences</b> usually corymbose, cymose, paniculate, racemose, thyrsiform, or umbellate, seldom solitary flowers. <b>Pedicels</b> present or absent; bracts present or absent. <b>Flowers</b> chasmogamous or cleistogamous; sepals persistent or tardily falling, 3–5; petals usually caducous [marcescent], usually 3–5, sometimes 0 in cleistogamous flowers, imbricate, distinct, crumpled in bud, green, dark red, pink, purple, red, white, or yellow; stamens (3–)5–150+; filaments distinct or basally connate; ovaries superior, 2-, 3-, 5-, or 6–12-carpellate; placentation parietal; styles 0 or 1; stigmas 1 or 3; ovules orthotropous [anatropous], bitegmic, crassinucellate. <b>Fruits</b> capsular, dehiscence loculicidal [septifragal]. <b>Seeds</b> (1–)3–800+ per capsule, often with thin outer integument.</span><!--

--><p>Affinities of Cistaceae are evidently with Malvales. Members of Cistaceae are widely cultivated, especially cultivars of hybrids and species of <i>Cistus</i>, <i>Crocanthemum</i>, 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 <i>Crocanthemum</i> 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 <i>Crocanthemum</i> by its opposite leaves and erect, curved pedicels.</p>
