Serbian term or phrase: Medonosna biljka
Matičnjak je višegodišnja aromatična lekovita biljka. Raste u vrtovima gde se uzgaja kao kulturna biljka, ali se kao samonikla može može naći nedaleko od naselja, uz ograde, živice. Matičnjak je jedna od retkih biljaka koja je istovremeno lekovita, mirisna, začinska, ukrasna, aromatična, medonosna i industrijska. Cveta od juna do septembra.

A melliferous flower is a plant which produces substances that can be collected by insects and turned into honey. Many plants are melliferous, but only certain examples can be harvested by honey bees, because of their physiognomy (body size and shape, length of proboscis, etc.) Apiculture classifies a plant as melliferous if it can be harvested by domesticated honey bees.
