Thymus pannonicus
Thymus pannonicus, Hungarian or Eurasian thyme, is a low perennial subshrub of the mint family native to dry meadows and rocky grasslands from central and eastern Europe to western Russia. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, poor soil, and tolerates drought and cold well.
Thymus pannonicus, known by its common name Hungarian thyme or Eurasian thyme, is a perennial herbaceous plant, distributed in central and eastern Europe and Russia. It grows over open dry meadows, grasslands, and rocks.
In Serbia, this plant species contributes to several xerothermous grass formations which develop on warm, dry silicate terrains at altitude above 160 m (520 ft), mostly over plains or mild slopes, on acidic soils derived from crystalline albite-muscovite schist and gneiss-like granite. In southern Banat (Serbia), the dried herb is used to make herbal tea drinks, owing to its lemon-like scent. Fresh leaves are used for aromatisation of homemade jams, candies and similar confections. Traditionally, it is used also for coughs and other respiratory complaints, as well as certain gastrointestinal disorders.
