The specific epithet is derived from two Latin words: ''gravis'', meaning "heavy", and ''oleo'', meaning "oil". It is a shrub or small tree, reaching in height.〔 Fragrant white or yellowish flowers can be found on the plant throughout the year, especially after rains.〔
==Uses==
The essential oil of ''Lippia graveolens'' contains 0-81% thymol, 0-48% carvacrol, 3-30% para-cymene, and 0-15% eucalyptol. The first two components give the plant a flavor similar to oregano,〔 and the leaves are widely used as an herb in Mexico and Central America.
