RE: MEDIT-PLANTS What is Turkestani Oregano?

I checked in the Missouri Botanic Gardens Database
no record of a Origanum tyttanticum
but the alternate was there

Origanum tyttanthum Gontsch.

This same spelling occurs in my records form the Australian Botanic
Gardens List
and the Grin Taxon List.
The Grin Listing goes a bit further with
Origanum tyttanthum Gontsch. (=Origanum vulgare ssp. gracile (W. D. J.
Koch) Ietsw.)
