Abstract:Ocimum basilicum L. (basil) and Thymus vulgaris L. (thyme) are well-known medicinal plants from the Lamiaceae family.

The results obtained by stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscopy showed that the nutlets of these species differ in size, shape, abscission scar, and ornamentation pattern.
