Abstract:	The authors analyze the structure of vegetative organs of two Thymus species from Romania flora, evidencing the constant and particular histo-anatomical features of this species. Peculiar attention has been given to the structure, distribution and morphology of the glandular hairs, which are always multicellular having a basal cell, a unicellular stalk and 1, 2 or 8 cells gland.
