Notes

Euro+Med (https://europlusmed.org/cdm_dataportal/taxon/d4cedbae-5fc0-4f8a-b5cc-deeb11ca2ad4, accessed on 06.06.2023) and Worldplants (https://www.worldplants.de/world-plants-complete-list/complete-plant-list?name=Thymus-roegneri, accessed on 06.06.2023) consider T. alternans a synonym of T. roegneri K.Koch, which is widely distributed. However, Kliment et al. (2016) suggest it to be a valid subendemic species. Mártonfi (1996), Nachychko (2014) and Nachychko and Honcharenko (2017) also support the independence of T. alternans . Nevertheless, T. alternans plants from the Ukrainian Carpathians were sometimes misidentified as T. roegneri .
