It could be an Origanum majorana, but I am not sure.

Does it have a smell/scent when you rub
or crush the leaves????

(gorgeous looking plant by the way)

Looks like either Oregano or Thyme...either way they each have their own distict flavors laugh

Its smell is good, similar to that of mentha.
In this region we call it "menta maggiorana", but I don't know if it's the real Origanum majorana.
The pictures that I found with Google are not very clear.
We use this herb to prepare a cake.
