“…The species of Origanum are mostly distributed around the Mediterranean, North African, Euro‐Siberian, and Iran‐Siberian regions (Ali, Al‐Khalifa, Aouf, Boukhebti, & Farouk, 2020; Bayramoglu, Sahin, & Sumnu, 2008). The distribution of Origanum species was reportedly the same as the general plant geographical pattern in Aegean and in Turkey (Arabaci et al, 2020; Davis, 1971; Kontopanou & Panitsa, 2020; Runemark, 1971). Most of the species of Origanum are exclusively found in East Mediterranean; four species are common in the West Mediterranean region, whereas three are endemic to Libya (Bakha et al, 2019; Greuter, Burdet, & Long, 1986; Kintzios, 2012).…”

Origanum species are mostly distributed around the Mediterranean, Euro‐Siberian, and Iran‐Siberian regions. Since time immemorial, the genus has popularly been used in Southern Europe, as well as on the American continent as a spice now known all over the world under the name “oregano” or “pizza‐spice.” Origanum plants are also employed to prepare bitter tinctures, wines, vermouths, beer, and kvass. The major components of Origanum essential oil are various terpenes, phenols, phenolic acids, and flavonoids with predominant occurrence of carvacrol and thymol (with reasonable amounts of p‐cymen and ‐terpinene) or of terpinene‐4‐ol, linalool, and sabinene hydrate. Many species of Origanum genus are used to treat kidney, digestive, nervous, and respiratory disorders, spasms, sore throat, diabetes, lean menstruation, hypertension, cold, insomnia, toothache, headache, epilepsy, urinary tract infections, etc. Origanum essential oil showed potent bioactivities owing to its major constituents' carvacrol, thymol, and monoterpenes. Several preclinical studies evidenced its pharmacological potential as antiproliferative or anticancer, antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, anti‐obesity, renoprotective, antiinflammatory, vasoprotective, cardioprotective, antinociceptive, insecticidal, and hepatoprotective properties. Its nanotechnological applications as a promising pharmaceutical in order to enhance the solubility, physicochemical stability, and the accumulation rate of its essential oils have been investigated. However, Origanum has been reported causing angioedema, perioral dermatitis, allergic reaction, inhibition of platelet aggregation, hypoglycemia, and abortion. Conclusive evidences are still required for its clinical applications against human medical conditions. Toxicity analyses and risk assessment will aid to its safe and efficacious application. In addition, elaborate structure–activity studies are needed to explore the potential use of Origanum‐derived phytochemicals as promising drug candidates.

“…Origanum vulgare L., commonly oregano, is one of the most renowned aromatic species, with a strong traditional background as a spice and medicinal plant, but also as a well-established source of valuable plant-based drugs in modern phytotherapy. This Lamiaceae plant is native to Europe, the North of the African continent, and most of temperate Asia, but the hotspot of its diversity is situated in the Mediterranean region and predominantly in Turkey [ 1 ]. It has also been introduced in North America, where it grows in several states along the East and West coast [ 2 ].…”

Origanum vulgare L. is a widely used aromatic plant, especially due to its content in essential oil, mainly rich in carvacrol and thymol. The ethnopharmacological uses of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil (OEO) comprise digestive, respiratory, or dermatological disorders. The review focuses on the increasing number of recent studies investigating several biological activities of OEO. The bioactivities are in tight relation to the phytochemical profile of the essential oil, and also depend on taxonomic, climatic, and geographical characteristics of the plant material. The antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, skin disorders beneficial effects, next to antihyperglycemic and anti-Alzheimer activities were reported and confirmed in multiple studies. Moreover, recent studies indicate a positive impact on skin disorders of OEO formulated as nanocarrier systems in order to improve its bioavailability and, thus, enhancing its therapeutic benefits. The review brings an up to date regarding the phytochemistry and bioactivity of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil, underlining also the most successful pharmaceutical formulation used for skin disorders.

“…onites L. (1753: 590). Both taxa are characterized by the same chromosome number, 2n=30, and this type of diploidy is reported for most of the species belonging to the genus Origanum, though in a few cases, the chromosome number is 2n = 28 and/or 32 (Arabaci et al, 2021;Martin, Dirmenci, Arabaci, Yazıcı & Özcan, 2020). Ample botanical research has been carried out on Symi since the work of Orphanides in 1856, namely by Desio (1924), Rechinger (1944), Davis (1965Davis ( -1985, Carlström (1987), Keitel & Remm (1991, Jahn (Strid 2016), Chilton (2010), Galanos (2016), Galanos & Tzanoudakis (2017, Burton & Tan (2017), Cattaneo & Grano (2017), and Cattaneo (2020, and only O. onites and O. symes have been detected on the island.…”

“…Origanum L. (family: Lamiaceae, subfamily: Nepetoideae, tribe: Mentheae, subtribe Menthinae) consists of about 42 species (49 taxa) and 22 hybrids worldwide, including the new hybrid described here .

Background and Aims: Origanum × symes was described as a new species by Carlström in 1984 on the Aegean Island of Symi (Dodecanese, Greece). In this work, a taxonomic re-evaluation of O. symes is proposed in light of new findings. Methods: New specimens belonging to Origanum symes from the island of Symi were collected by the first author in 2017. These specimens were carefully examined and compared with the type specimen of O. symes. Also, the new Origanum symes specimen was compared morphologically with O. calcaratum and O. onites, which are possible parents, and their calyces were drawn. Results: The new hybrid was morphologically compared with its putative parents Origanum calcaratum and O. onites (see Table 1). Its diagnostic features, description, figures, and distribution map were provided. Conclusion: It has been determined that O. symes has intermediate characteristics between its two parents in terms of features such as leaves, calyx, and corolla. These determinations led us to hypothesize that O. symes is a hybrid. As a result, it was concluded that O. symes was a hybrid between O. calcaratum and O. onites, and was re-arranged as Origanum × symes Carlström.
