The species of the genus Origanum L. are strongly aromatic perennial herbs and subshrubs. The Origanum species have many morphological and chemical varieties. Carvacrol, thymol, linalool, and p-cymene are some of their abundant chemical components. Origanum species are widely used as tea and herbs in folk medicine. They have antispasmodic, antimicrobial, expectorant, antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and carminative effects. (Başer and Kırımer, 2006;Yılmaz et al., 2017). Therefore, the use of Origanum plants is very common as tea, as additives to foods, and in traditional remedies for the treatment of infectious diseases and the prevention of cancer and gastrointestinal system diseases (Marrelli et al., 2010).The genus Origanum (Lamiaceae, subfamily: Nepetoideae, tribe: Mentheae, subtribe: Menthineae) comprises 43 species (51 taxa) and 15 hybrids worldwide (Ietswaart, 1980(Ietswaart, , 1982. The species are mainly concentrated in the temperate regions of the Mediterranean area. Twenty-three species (26 taxa), 8 hybrids, and one suspected species have been recorded in Turkey, which has the most species. Twenty of those are endemic (Ietswaart, 1982;Davis et al., 1988;Duman, 2000). The species are classified into eight sections: Sect. Amaracus (Gleditsch) Vogel ( 4species), Sect. Anatolicon Ietsw. (2 species), Sect. Breviflamnetum Ietsw. (7 species), Sect. Longitubus Ietsw. (1 species), Sect. Chilocalyx (Briq.) Ietsw. (3 species), Sect. Majorana (Mill.) Benth. (3 species), Sect. Origanum (1 species, 4 taxa), and Sect. Prolaticorolla Ietsw. (1 species).Origanum dictamnus L., indicated as a suspected species in the Flora of Turkey, belongs to the section Amaracus. To date, O. dictamnus has only been recorded from Crete, where it is considered endemic. An unflowered specimen from Aydın-Priene (Fors-Maj. 665) was collected and identified as O. dictamnus in the Flora of Turkey (Ietswaart, 1980(Ietswaart, , 1982. This specimen (from Aydın-Priene) was different from O. dictamnus in respect to the unbranched indumentum. However, although this specimen did not have flowers, it was reported that this specimen did not, in fact, belong to O. dictamnus (Ietswaart, 1980(Ietswaart, , 1982. Based on this note stated in the Flora of Turkey and the Eastern Aegean Islands, in order to collect new materials, a field trip was made to the environs of Priene, an ancient city on the Dilek Peninsula/Kuşadası (Figure 1). Despite covetable specimens not being collected from Priene, some

“…Se reconocen 38 especies en el mundo (Sahin et al, 2004), la mayoría (un 75%) están concentradas en la subregión este Mediterránea (Ietswaart, 1980). Las especies de orégano crecen abundantemente en laderas pedregosas y en zonas rocosas de las montañas, en un amplio rango de altitudes (Snogerup, 1971).…”

“…O. vulgare L. es la especie más variable, y la única comúnmente conocida como "orégano" en la mayoría de países Europeos (Tucker y Maciarello, 1994). La clasificación actualmente aceptada (Ietswaart, 1980) O. vulgare es utilizado como planta medicinal (Hossain et al, 2011). Su aceite esencial ha mostrado poseer actividades biológicas antibacterianas, antifúngicas y antioxidantes (Elgayyar et al, 2001;Sahin et al, 2004;Peñalver et al, 2005).…”
