Micromeria Benth. . is currently circumscribed as monophyletic and is represented by nearly 70 species in the world (Govaerts, 1999; Brauchler et al., 2008b; Puppo and Meimberg, 2015a, 2015b). The genus is distributed from the Macaronesian-Mediterranean region to southern Africa, India, and China (Bräuchler et al., 2008b).
