Clinopodium acinos, many synonyms including Acinos arvensis, known commonly as basil thyme and spring savory, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae.
It is a perennial that usually grows about 8inches high and spreads 12inches. It prefers to grow in strong sunlight. The scent is faintly reminiscent of thyme, giving it one of its common names.[1]
Clinopodium acinos is recorded as a food plant for the larva of the moth Coleophora tricolor.[2]
