Thymus mastichina is a Spanish wild thyme. Despite the 'marjoram' name, it is botanically Thymus, not Origanum.
The name 'mastic thyme' reflects the strong 1,8-cineole aroma with some resinous notes.
Family Lamiaceae (Labiatae).
Not a substitute for sweet marjoram (Origanum majorana) in aromatherapy or cosmetics, markedly different chemistry.
Produced mainly in Spain and Portugal.
