Thymus longedentatus is a plant type from the genus of thyme ( Thymus ) in the family of Labiatae .
description
Thymus longedentatus is a small shrub whose main stems are woody and creeping, partly underground. There are large, compact rosettes of leaves and flower stems up to 10 cm in length. There is no tuft with small leaves at the base of the flowering shoots. The stems are hairy all around. The leaves are 12 to 25 mm long and 1.5 to 3 mm wide. They are linear-inverted-lanceolate, stalked and long wedge-shaped at the base, with a pointed to blunt tip. The midrib protrudes quite far, the side veins run almost parallel.
The inflorescences are head-shaped and elongated, the lowest false whorl is sometimes a little distant. Flower stalks and calyxes are usually densely covered with stalked glands. The bracts resemble the foliage leaves. The calyx is 5 to 6 mm long, the upper lip is slightly longer than the lower lip. The upper teeth are about 1.5 to 2 cm long, baked and ciliate.
