The names Cistus ericoides Cav. and C . laevis Cav. are typified. These names apply to two species, currently classified within the genus Fumana (Dunal) Spach, but the names have been frequently misapplied and both of them pose typification problems. The type specimen of the first has not been found. Thus an illustration is chosen as type and an epitype designated. The original material of C . laevis comprises a mixture of two different species. One element is selected to clarify the application of this binomial.
