ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Satureja plant, botanically known as
Satureja Douglasii
, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Indian Mint’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Quedlinburg, Germany. The new Satureja originated from a cross of a proprietary Satureja selection identified as KA, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Satureja selection identified as KB/95, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Satureja was selected by the Inventor in 1996 on the basis of its cascading, trailing and uniform plant habit. The new Satureja differs from the parental selections primarily in plant habit.
Asexual reproduction of the new Satureja by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Quedlinburg, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Satureja are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Indian Mint have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertility level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Indian Mint’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Indian Mint’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Cascading, trailing and uniform plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit, dense and bushy growth habit.
3. Dark green and aromatic leaves.
