Halimium (rockrose or halimium) is a genus of 12 species of evergreen or semi-evergreen subshrubs in the family Cistaceae, closely related to Helianthemum. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its Malvales is the name of an order of Flowering plants As circumscribed by APG II -system it includes about 6000 Species within nine The Cistaceae (or rock-rose family, rock rose family) is a rather small family of plants known for its beautiful shrubs vastly covered by Flowers at Michel Felix Dunal (1789-1856 was a French Botanist. He was Professor of Botany in Montpellier, France. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic In Botany, an Evergreen plant is a plant having leaves all year round A subshrub ( Latin suffrutex) is a Horticultural rather than strictly botanical category of Woody Perennial plant. The Cistaceae (or rock-rose family, rock rose family) is a rather small family of plants known for its beautiful shrubs vastly covered by Flowers at Helianthemum ( rockrose, sunroses, rushrose, or helianthemum) is a Genus of about 110 species of Evergreen They are native to Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor, with the centre of diversity in the western Mediterranean region. North Africa or Northern Africa is the Northernmost Region of the African Continent, separated by the Sahara from Sub-Saharan Anatolia (Anadolu Ανατολία Anatolía) or Asia minor, comprising most of modern Turkey, is the geographic region bounded by the Black The Mediterranean Basin refers to the lands around and surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea.
The leaves are opposite, simple oval, 1-5 cm long and 0. In Botany, a leaf is an above-ground Plant organ specialized for Photosynthesis. 5-2 cm broad, varying from glossy green to tomentose grey-green. The flowers are 1. A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also 5-4 cm diameter, with five petals, white or yellow; in some species the flowers are bicoloured with a dark red or brown basal spot on each petal to act as a nectar guide for pollinating insects. Nectar guides are patterns seen in some Flowers that guide pollinators to the nectar and Pollen. Pollination in angiosperms and Gymnosperms is the process that transfers pollen grains, which contain the male Gametes (sperm to where the female Insects ( Class Insecta) are a major group of Arthropods and the most diverse group of Animals on the Earth with over a million described

Cultivation and uses
Several Halimium species, and the numerous hybrids and cultivars derived from them, are widely grown as ornamental plants, popular in rockeries. In Biology, hybrid has two meanings The first meaning is the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different taxa. A cultivar is a cultivated Plant that has been selected and given a unique name because of its decorative or useful characteristics it is usually distinct from similar Ornamental plants are typically grown in the flower Garden or as House plants Most commonly they are grown for the display of their Flowers Other common A rock garden, also known as a rockery or an alpine garden, is a type of Garden that features extensive use of rocks or stones along A broader range of colours is available among the cultivars.
