Hypericum aegypticum

For confirmation : Is this hypericum aegypticum? (ie not cistus)
The leaves indicate H. aegypticum according to a small illustration found on Wild life of Maltese islands.

no MWP - that's a cistus - definitely not hypericum

Fumana definitively. St. John's wort 's flower is much smaller.

Thanks guys, its Fumana arabica as you said (Cistu isfar). The illustration was quite misleading.

As I can observe, the Hypericum have more seperated petals while fumana the petals overlap completely.
