Curiosity got the best of me and I started looking for information on Jamaican Thyme.

It appears to be the same thing known as Broadleaf Thyme/Cuban Oregano/Indian Borage. I killed mine this year putting it outside too early, but it grows easily from cuttings if you can find someone with a plant who will root one for you. I think I originally got mine from someone in Miami years ago.

It's widely used in Caribbean green seasoning mixes and bean dishes. Extremely aromatic, just touching the leaves makes the whole room fill with their fragrance. Pretty potted plant too.
