               Thymbra spicata L. [Labiatae]. 

          In its habit this plant shows some resemblax[?]/<n>ce to Rosemary as  

regards certain characters and to x[?]/<L>avender in others. The specimen  

examined is part of a plant, consisting of branched stem with leaves  

and fruits. 

          This specimen if/<s> found in Crete, Greece, Cyclades, Thrace,  

Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Iraq (Herb. Kew.), and the plant,  

which yields an ethereal oil with an odour like thyme (Y. B. Pharm,  

1911, p. 87), might perhaps have been used as a scent, or flavouring,  

or a medicine.
