Plant names
In a report from Spain for translation to British English. The "jaral" seems to be both a general group of plants and specific types (jaral blanco and jaral de jara pringosa). What would the general "jaral" be?
(Where I understand "matorral" as "scrubland/scrub" and "jaral de jara pringosa as" "rock rose").
"Como vegetación de matorral encontramos jarales (blancos y de jara pringosa) y matorrales de ciburno y madroño."
(Where I understand "matorral" as "scrubland/scrub" and "jaral de jara pringosa as" "rock rose").
"Como vegetación de matorral encontramos jarales (blancos y de jara pringosa) y matorrales de ciburno y madroño."

rockroses
Cistus 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. The leaves are evergreen, opposite, simple, usually slightly rough-surfaced, 2-8 cm long; in a few species (notably C. ladanifer), the leaves are coated with a highly aromatic resin called labdanum. They have showy 5-petaled flowers ranging from white to purple and dark pink, in a few species with a conspicuous dark red spot at the base of each petal., and together with its many hybrids and cultivars is commonly encountered as a garden flower.
The common name rockrose is applied to the species, a name also shared by the related genera Halimium, Helianthemum and Tuberaria, all in the family Cistaceae.
jara pringosa = Cistus ladanifer, Cistus ladanifer = Gum Rockrose

: That's all that's necessary. (I'm a landscape designer, and I installed some domesticated rockroses yesterday. They come in a wide variety of colors and shapes.)
