AI overview

I can see the context shows only an image caption for "Origanum syriacum," which is insufficient to provide an accurate 2-sentence overview of Origanum itself. To write responsibly, I would need actual descriptive text about what Origanum is, its characteristics, and its significance—not just a species name.
