Rock Thyme
Clinopodium alpinum
Clinopodium alpinum, the rock thyme, is a perennial plant of the family Lamiaceae. Subspecies of rock thyme include: C. alpinum meriodionale, with smaller flowers; and C. alpinum majoranifolium, which grows in smaller bunches. Rock thyme is sometimes used in pharmacology for its diaphoretic and antipyretic properties. In addition, it can be brewed and served as tea.
