Lippia repens, Lippia reptans
Both mean 'creeping' or 'crawling'. The former is from repo, repere, and the latter is from repto, reptare, a frequentive form of the first verb. Our word reptile is from the same root. Lippia is derived from a surname. Probably a German one. (There was a Johannis Lippius who was a music theoretician.) The modern binomial nomenclature for the plant seems to be Phyla nodiflora.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
