A quick look shows that it does not exist


Occam's typorazor suggests you look at

Cistanthe grandiflora (Portulaceae, with characters as described by you)

You are welcome

This would be a likely typo since Latin "cis-" is so common ("Gallia
cisalpina", also in organic chemistry) while 'cist-' (either from the genus
'Cistus' or from the Greek 'kiste': cf Eng 'cyst') is fairly uncommon
(Cistanthe, Cistanthera).
