comune in Italia , nei luoghi incolti , nei prati, nei boschi e nelle scarpate; presenta fusti alti fino a
mezzo metro, generalmente poco ramificati, rossastri e con spigoli poco marcati.
Le foglie sono opposte con lamina ovale allungata, con margine intero o con denti appena
accennati e con breve picciuolo. I fiori piccolissimi sono riuniti in spicastri stretti che formano
pannocchie basse, quasi a corimbo, le brattee sono obovate, spesso con margini rossicci, il calice
coperto da ghiandole rosso-brune è lungo 3 mm circa, regolare con cinque denti e la corolla è di
colore bianco o rosata.
La pianta presenta fitti peli sui fusti, sui grossi nervi e sul margine delle foglie, quasi mancanti nel
resto della foglia e nell’ infiorescenza. La droga è costituita dalla parte epigea della pianta, raccolta
in piena fioritura. L’origano si riconosce facilmente per le infiorescenze e per le bratte.
