| Perhaps Thymus citriodorus? |
|
| This is the original post - it is not any herb known to the regulars on the Herb Forum and does not look like Oregano. It is definitely not Thymus citriodorus. |

| I saw your post on the herb forum and recognized it as something in the Euphorbia family (which includes spurges). Since it's a Euphorbia, it's toxic. It has white sap, and that's toxic. It's a common weed in prairies. It's even growing in my neighborhood here in Houston, which used to be a prairie. |
