genus
Title: Cistus
Passage: Cistus (from the Greek "kistos") is a genus of flowering plants in the rockrose family Cistaceae, containing about 20 species (Ellul "et al." 2002).  They are perennial shrubs found on dry or rocky soils throughout the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal through to the Middle East, and also on the Canary Islands.
Title: Abelia
Passage: Abelia is a genus of about 30 species and many hybrids in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae.  Some authors, including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, consider "Abelia" and related genera to belong instead in the segregate family Linnaeaceae, also including such genera as "Linnaea", "Abelia", "Dipelta", "Kolkwitzia", and "Zabelia", but not such others as "Lonicera" or "Symphoricarpos," included by them instead in a more narrowly viewed Caprifoliaceae.
Title: Cistus monspeliensis
Passage: Cistus monspeliensis is a species of rockrose known by the common name Montpellier cistus.  It is native to southern Europe and northern Africa, in the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub ecosystems of matorral—maquis shrublands.
