   Etymology: thym, Fr. thymus, Lat.

   The thyme hath a labiated flower, consisting of one leaf, whose upper-lip is erect, and generally split in two, and the under-lip is divided into three parts; out of the flower-cup arises the pointal, accompanied by four embrios, which afterward become so many seeds, inclosed in a husk, which before was the flower-cup; to these marks must be added hard ligneous stalks, and the flowers gathered into heads. Philip Miller.

   The steepy cliffs, or crop the flow’ry thyme. Dryden.
