Mint plant ‘Ochoco Mint’

Abstract

Mint selection 14-41-16 denominated ‘Ochoco Mint’ is a new Mentha sp. cultivar that produces an essential oil different in composition than commercially grown mint varieties. The essential oil is similar to standard mint oil in components composition but differs in the typical ratio of components. Organoleptically, it differs from typical peppermint oil. It is resistant to mint rust and more resistant to Verticillium mint wilt than current commercially grown varieties of M. arvensis.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peppermint plant, substantially as shown and described, characterized particularly by improving resistance to mint rust and mint wilt, and producing a unique essential oil.
