Acinos arvensis, known commonly as basil thyme and spring savory, is a species of plant of the genus Acinos.
It is a perennial that usually grows about 8 inches (20 cm) high and spreads 12 inches (30 cm). It prefers to grow in strong sunlight. The scent is faintly reminiscent of thyme, giving it its common name.[1]
Acinos arvensis is recorded as a food plant for the larva of the moth Coleophora tricolor.[2]
The Plant List regards Acinos arvensis as a synonym of Clinopodium acinos.[3]
