The new variety of Mentha arvensis named as ‘CIM-Vishisht’ was developed through half sib progeny selection of the menthol mint cultivar, ‘Shivalik’. The new variety has the potential of yielding 60 Kg/ha of essential oil which is rich in pulegone (65–68%) and the character is found stable over generations. The plant morphology of this new variety is distinct with medium height, smaller pale green leaves and white flowers, the growth habit is decumbent and has distinct DNA marker profile. This new variety ‘CIM-Vishisht’ will help opening new avenues for essential oil industry in the country.
