Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is a perennial culinary and medicinal herb that belongs to the mint (Lamiaceae) family, along with basil, spearmint, cilantro (coriander), parsley, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, hyssop, lavender, parsnip, celery, dill, carrots.and perilla. The family also (surprisingly) includes chia, and (even more surprisingly) coleus and teak. Garden thyme descends from its close relative, Thymus serpyllum, known variously as mother-of-thyme, wild thyme, and creeping thyme.
Thyme leaves are curled, elliptically shaped and very small, measuring about one-eighth of an inch long and one-sixteenth of an inch wide. The upper leaf is green-grey in color on top, while the underside is a whitish color.
