Default Origanum vulgare and Origanum x majoricum

Thanks a lot.

I did Google and got all kinds of info - not all agreeing

Does "Origanum vulgare" and "Origanum x majoricum" refer to the same type
of plant?

If so, what color flowers does it have

What does the X indicate?



Thanks in advance for any info, especially an internet reference


O. X majoricum is a hybrid between origano (O. vulgare) and sweet marjoram
(O. majorana). The x (an alternative for a multiplication sign) denotes
that it is a nothospecies (hybrid species).

Google is your friend.
