(Plant fragrant, aromatic. E.) Stems ascending, about a span high. 
Leaves in distant pairs. Woodw. Plant hairy. Calyx scored, protube- 
the same mass should be homogeneous; and thus, it is supposed, te Pi’ovidence secures both 
the impregnation of those flowers that require such aid, by the bees passing from one to 
another; and avoids the production of hybrid plants, from the application of the pollen of 
one kind of plant to the stigma of another.” E.) Swine refuse it. (Cattle in general 
avoid it. E.) Phalcena papilionaria lives upon it. (The cottony galls observable on this 
plant are attributable to a species of Tsphritis ; and occasion the woolly appearance, 
“ capitulis tomentosis,” Linn, and to which, from the same cause, several other plants are 
liable. Branches of Thyme strewed about articles liable to damage from mice are said to 
prevent their depredations: and probably sprinkling the essential oil might prove effec¬ 
tual. E.) 
* (This favourite variety is often cultivated in gardens for its peculiarly agreeable odour, 
and its use for culinary purposes. It continues to blossom late, and beds of it should be 
planted in every bee garden. It must be, like other accidental varieties, propagated by 
slips and cuttings ; when raised from seeds the plants have not the fine scent. E.)
