Thymus serpyllum, Linn.; also spelled Serpyllus (T. azoricus, Lodd. T. hirsutus, Auth. not Bieb. T. micans, Lowe). Mother of Thyme. Creeping Thyme. Perennial or subshrubby, cespitose or creeping: sts. wiry, prostrate and rooting below, ascending-erect above, slightly puberulent: lvs. elliptic, oblong or ovate, obtuse base more or less attenuate, seldom 1/2 in. long, short-petioled: floral-whorls sessile, congested into a head or the lower more or less distant and racemose: fls. minute, lilac or rose; calyx more or less hairy, 2-lipped to the middle, teeth of upper lip triangular, glabrous or ciliate, of lower lip 2, lanceolate-subulate, ciliate; corolla-tube rather included. Temperate parts of Eu., Asia, and N. Afr. G.M. 57:807. L.B.C. 16:1530.—A common plant in old gardens, prized as an evergreen edging and as cover for rockwork and waste places; also run wild. The lvs. are sometimes used for seasoning, as are those of T. vulgaris. The nodes are short, making it a very leafy plant. Variable. Var. albus, Hort., is a white-fld. form. Gt. 45, p. 108. Var. argenteus. Hort., is a form with silver variegated lvs. commonly known in the trade as T. citriodorus argenteus, Hort. Var. aureus, Hort., is a form with golden variegated lvs. growing about 8-12 in. high; usually known in the trade as T. aureus, Hort., or T. citriodorus aureus, Hort.; there is also a minor variation known in the trade as T. Serpyllum aureus marginatus. Var. Chaubardii, Boiss. & Heldr., see T. heterotrichus. Var. citriodorus, Hort., see var. vulgaris. Var. coccineus, Hort. (T. coccineus, Hort.). grows about l 1/2- 3 in. high, has dark green lvs. and bright crimson fls. Var. lanuginosus, Hort. (T. lanuginosus, Mill. T. Chamaedrys lanuginosus, Hort.). is a low form, about 3 in. high with small roundish lvs. which are gray-pubescent; a good edging plant. Var. montanus, Benth. (T. montanus, Waldst. & Kit. T. Chamaedrys, Auth., not Fries), is a form with the branchlets more erect and the lvs. larger than the type. Var. pulchellus, Hort., has the upper part of the calyx and its teeth purple. G.M. 56:83. Var. splendens, Hort., is a form with brilliant red (according to some bright purplish red) fls. Var. variegatus, Hort., has white-variegated lvs., possibly the same as var. argenteus. Var. vulgaris, Benth. (T. Serpyllum var. citriodorus, Hort. T. citriodorus, Schreb.). Lemon Thyme. Lvs. smaller than the type and strongly veined; the plant has a decided lemon odor.
