Thymus capitellatus is native to southwest Portugal and is strongly present around the Tagus Estuary and Sado Estuary, inhabiting moorlands, xerophilic scrub (cistus, heaths) and sometimes in pine, eucalyptus and acacia forests, colonizing sandy acid soils of a dune nature and above all paleodunes (stabilized dunes).[1][3]
