further taxonomic explanations -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistus_inflatus:
"
Cistus inflatus has a somewhat confused nomenclatural history. In 1786, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck described this species under the name Cistus hirsutus, but it was an illegitimate name since he had earlier used it for a different species.[4][5] In 1826, Robert Sweet published the name Cistus psilosepalus,[6] which was then applied to this species by many authors.[5] In 1997, Jean-Pierre Demoly identified Sweet's type as C. × laxus Aiton, a hybrid between this species and C. populifolius.[3][5][7] As the name Cistus laxus was published by Aiton in 1789, it has priority over the name Cistus psilosepalus, which becomes a synonym. Demoly revived a name used (but not published) by Pierre André Pourret, namely C. inflatus.[7]
In summary, in Demoly's analysis:
Cistus psilosepalus Sweet is a synonym of Cistus × laxus Aiton
Cistus psilosepalus auct., non Sweet has incorrectly been used for what is now Cistus inflatus Pourr. ex J.-P.Demoly

Swap drafted but not committed.
It could make more sense to swap Cistus psilosepalus into Cistus inflatus. Cistus inflatus is treated as C. psilosepalus in Flora Iberica and as a result most people in Portugal and Spain use it for that species. I strongly suspect all observations on iNat refer to the species rather than the hybrid.
@duarte Could you do a check on the current C. psilosepalus and try to confirm that "all observations" refer to the species? Since the hybrid name was added, there have been a few additions there, too.
It looks that all the observations of Cistus psilosepalus in iNaturalist refer to Cistus inflatus. Therefore please make sure that all those observations are transferred to that species and not to Cistus x laxus before the names are changed!
OK, I just modified the draft swap here : https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/111788
Is it OK for all of you ?
@abelardo_aparicio
It is for me, thanks.
It's been eight months since, maybe it should be implemented
C. psi. in https://www.ipni.org/n/168441-1 has been evaluated as C. x. psi. in https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/168441-1,
and this hybrid name is synonym of C. x laxus.
The obs. under "C. psi." are C. inflatus
->https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/1015376-1,
this taxon has to be added first->cf. https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/580320#activity_comment_1c1c83b4-a65c-41e8-8453-f69c66d48e06
