Thymus moroderi is a small plant from the Thymus genus. It is endemic to some areas in the southern, driest part of the Alicante province (where it is called cantahueso or cantueso both in Spanish and Valencian) along with some isolated and similarly subarid locations in the contiguous Región de Murcia (Spain). Thymus moroderi must not be confused with the somewhat similar in appearance (yet from the (Lavandula genus) Lavandula stoechas, which is also called cantueso in Spanish.
