What's the difference between organum and origanum?
Organum
Definition:
(n.) An organ or instrument; hence, a method by which philosophical or scientific investigation may be conducted; -- a term adopted from the Aristotelian writers by Lord Bacon, as the title ("Novum Organon") of part of his treatise on philosophical method.

(17) Up to 55 cells were detected in a single 12-micron section containing the diagonal band and organum vasculosum lamina terminalis (OVLT) whereas cell numbers diminished in more caudal regions.
(18) Following supraoptic nucleus injection, retrograde label was found in forebrain neurons of the subfornical organ, median preoptic nucleus, and organum vasculosum of the lamina terminals.
(19) In an earlier investigation of the pathways affected by these lesions, coronal cuts were placed between the level of the organum vasculosum lamina terminalis in the AV3V region and the level of the supraoptic nuclei.
(20) High receptor binding levels were observed in the continuum of tissue comprising the anterior wall of the third ventricle, including the subfornical organ, the median pre-optic nucleus and the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis.
Origanum
Definition:
(n.) A genus of aromatic labiate plants, including the sweet marjoram (O. Marjorana) and the wild marjoram (O. vulgare).
Example Sentences:
(1) Oxygen uptake by the spores of Fusarium moniliforme, F. oxysporum, F. semitectum, F. solani, Mucor racemosus and Trichoderma viride was increased in the presence of volatile substances extracted from Origanum majorana and Ocimum basilicum.
