Satureja is a genus of aromatic plants of the family Lamiaceae, related to rosemary and thyme. It is native to North Africa, southern and southeastern Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. A few New World species were formerly included in
Satureja, but they have all been moved to other genera. Several species are cultivated as culinary herbs called
savory, and they have become established in the wild in a few places.
