Thymus 'Massa' A mat forming thyme with hairy leaves and salmon-pink, splashed magenta flowers, was introduced by Werner Simon's nursery in Marktheidenfeld, Germany, in 1995 as T. valesiacus, an invalid name.  In the 1997 to 2001 catalogues it was listed as T. valesiacus 'Massa'.  This thyme was collected by his father, Dr. Hans Simon, in the Massa Gorge, (Massaschlucht), in Canton Valais (Kanton Wallis), Switzerland.  According to Werner Simon 'Massa' relates to Massaschlucht.  As Latin epithets are not permissible post 1959, Werner and I have renamed it T. 'Massa'; first published in Plant Heritage, Spring 2009.
