The present invention relates to the development of a novel clone of Vetiver [(L) Nash. syn.(L.) Roberty; family Poaceae], named 'CIMAP-KHUS 40' characterised by somatic chromosome number 4x=40, larger stomata, fast growing deep penetrating roots, and seed infertility disabling its spread as a weed. This clone has unique ISSR and RAPD profiles that serve as DNA-fingerprints, and is developed from a unique diploid plant (2n=20). The invention document details all the pertinent data relating to this clone, its biological features and usefulness, and the method of its development.

Autotetraploidplant useful for carbon sequestration and soil conservation named 'CIMAP-KH 40'

A new and distinct hybrid plant named `Himalaya` (Mentha arvensis) characterized by its higher yield of oil which is rich in menthol, improved regeneration potential, vigorous growth, deep green broad thick leaves, pinkish white flowers and tolerance to rust such as alternaria leaf blight, corynespora leaf spot and powdery mildew.
