Hi,
There are many confusions about the actual botanical name of Thyme.
Some taxonomists name it as Thymus linearis and Many other taxonomists declare Thymus linearis same as thymus serpyllum. But a few taxonomists says that Thymus linearis and Thymus serpyllum are two different species. So, please guide me in this regard that, is Thymus linearis same as thymus serpyllum??
