Helianthemum propinquum, formerly called Crocanthemum propinquum, common names low frostweed and low rockrose, is a perennial plant that is native to the United States. [1]
It is listed as endangered in Connecticut, and as a species of special concern in Rhode Island and Tennessee. [1]
The Cistaceae are a small family of plants known for their beautiful shrubs, which are profusely covered by flowers at the time of blossom. This family consists of about 170(-200) species in eight genera that are not very distinct, distributed primarily in the temperate areas of Europe and the Mediterranean basin, but also found in North America; a limited number of species are found in South America. Most Cistaceae are subshrubs and low shrubs, and some are herbaceous. They prefer dry and sunny habitats. Cistaceae grow well on poor soils, and many of them are cultivated in gardens.
Helianthemum, known as rock rose, sunrose, rushrose, or frostweed, is a genus of about 110 species of flowering plants in the family Cistaceae. They are widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, especially in the Mediterranean.
In botanical nomenclature, author citation is the way of citing the person or group of people who validly published a botanical name, i.e. who first published the name while fulfilling the formal requirements as specified by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN). In cases where a species is no longer in its original generic placement, both the authority for the original genus placement and that for the new combination are given.
Helianthemum apenninum, the white rock-rose, is a white-flowering rock rose of the family Cistaceae found in the North Atlantic region, mainly in dry grassy and rocky places across large parts of Europe.

Crocanthemum scoparium, commonly known as the broom-Like frostweed or peak rushrose, is a small, drought-tolerant shrub native to North America, particularly in coastal and inland chaparral ecosystems of California, Baja California, and surrounding regions. It is a member of the Cistaceae family, which is well-known for its hardy, sun-loving plants adapted to dry climates. The plant is recognized for its upright, broom-like branches, which give it a distinctive appearance and its common name. It typically grows to about 1–3 feet tall.
