Description

Cistus ladanifer is a species of flowering plant in the family of Cistaceae. It is native to the western Mediterranean region. Common names include gum rockrose,laudanum,labdanum,common gum cistus, and brown-eyed rockrose.

It is a shrub growing 1–2.5m (3 ft 3 in–8 ft 2 in) tall and wide. The leaves are evergreen, lanceolate, 3–10cm long and 1–2cm broad, dark green above and paler underneath. The flowers are 5–8cm diameter, with 5 papery white petals, usually with a red to maroon spot at the base, surrounding the yellow stamens and pistils. The whole plant is covered with the sticky exudate of fragrantresin, the source of labdanum, used in herbal medicine and perfumery.

C. ladanifer is particularly well suited to the Continentalized Mediterranean climate, standing both long summer droughts and cold weather. It is an extremely aggressive plant which has taken over much of former farmland and grasslands in the mountain regions of central Spain and much of southern Portugal. In Spanish it is known as Jara pringosa meaning "sticky shrub". In Portuguese it is known as "esteva".
