Thymus Thymus est un genre de plantes (couramment appelées thymÉcouter ou serpolet) de la famille des Lamiacées. Ce genre comporte plus de 300 espèces. Ce sont des plantes rampantes ou en coussinet portant de petites fleurs rose pâle ou blanches. Ces plantes sont riches en huiles essentielles et à ce titre font partie des plantes aromatiques. La principale huile essentielle du thym commun (Thymus vulgaris) est un terpénoïde qui lui doit son nom, le thymol, une substance bactéricide. Dans le sud de la France, le thym est aussi fréquemment appelé farigoule (de son nom provençal : farigoule).
