Thymus Teucrioides Subsp. Candilicus

Thymus teucrioides subsp. candilicus is a rare and lesser-known member of the thyme family. Native to the mountainous regions of the Balkans, this plant thrives in rocky and well-drained soils. It is characterized by its compact growth habit and aromatic, small, gray-green leaves. The subspecies is distinguished by its distinctive flowering pattern and unique chemical composition. Due to its limited distribution and ecological significance, it is considered a valuable subject for botanical study.
