Notes:

The plant is probably originated in the eastern Mediterranean countries and is now cultivated in central and southern Europe as well as in North Africa. The plant grown in the United States is used as a culinary herb and not for the production of essential oil. Sweet marjoram oil is a pale yellow or pale amber liquid of a warmspicy, aromatic camphoraceous and woody odor, reminiscent of nutmeg and cardamom.
