	~~Describe~~ the plant ~~here~~...		'''Rock thyme''' ('''''Acinos alpinus''''') is a [[perennial]] plant of the ''[[Lamiaceae]]'' family. Synonyms include ''Calamintha alpina''<small> ([[Carl von Linné\|L.]]) Lam.</small>, ''Thymus alpinus''<small> (L.)</small>, and ''Satureja alpina''<small> (L.)</small>. There are two subspecies of rock thyme: ''A. alpinus meriodionalis'', with smaller flowers; and ''A. alpinus majoranifolius'', which grows in smaller bunches. Rock thyme is sometimes used in pharmacology for its [[diaphoretic]] and [[antipyretic]] properties. In addition, it can be brewed and served as [[tea]].

			Rock thyme is an herbaceous plant averaging between 40 and 50 centimeters in height. The flowers are [[Plant sexuality\|hermaphroditic]]; that is, they have both [[androecium\|male]] and [[gynoecium\|female]] reproductive systems. According to the [[Raunkiær plant life-form\|Raunkiær system]] of categorizing life forms, rock thyme is considered to be a [[chamaephyte]], specifically a [[chamaephyte sufruticosos]].

			The plant has a woody, fuzz-covered stem. Its leaves grow in [[symmetry\|symmetrical]] pairs and are connected to the stem by a thin [[Petiole (botany)\|petiole]]. Their shapes range from [[oval\|ovoid]] to [[Leaf shape\|lanceolates]] of 5 to 15 millimeters in length.

			The flowers consist of [[Whorl (botany)\|whorled]] [[inflorescence]]s, consisting of clusters of 3 to 8 flowers. They range from 15 to 20 mm in length, and are generally [[violet (color)\|violet]] in color. Depending on altitude, rock thyme flowers between May and August. Its fruit is [[schizocarp]]al, and splits into four equal portions upon reaching maturity.).

			It is anchored to the ground by a [[taproot]] and a network of smaller secondary roots.

			The plant originates from the mountains of [[Southern Europe]].

			In [[Italy]], rock thyme can be found in most areas whose altitude is between 900 and 2600 meters above [[sea level]]. It is found in open fields, rock [[fissure]]s, and areas with little fertile soil.
