Teucrium marum

Teucrium marum, commonly known as cat thyme or kitty crack, is a species of germander. Its small, oval leaves give it a thyme-like appearance, but the musty scent is quite unlike the delicate aroma of thyme. Cat thyme is a mounding, tender perennial with grey-green leaves tipped by fragrant pink flowers in summer.

Teucrium marum is native to the Western Mediterranean.
