Bystropogon
Bystropogon is a genus of evergreen shrubs in the Lamiaceae. It is native to the Canary Islands and Madeira in the western Atlantic Ocean. Allied to the Origanum and Thymus, the genus is characterized by tiny flowers in much-branched clusters, with plume-like sepals that elongate at the fruiting stage, giving the whole tip of each branch a fuzzy appearance. Stems are square in cross-section and leaves, arranged in opposite pairs, are aromatic when crushed.
