Dear All:

If it is Hyptis suaveolens....
it may be one of the PL480 uninvited weeds...

but its a value added guest...
wiki describes it as a useful insecticide for storing grains
*may be Indian can learn to farm it and , use it and market it...*


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyptis_suaveolens

and it seems it has a substantial content of essential oils
Essential oil pl480 weed Hyptis suaveolens AU paper   molecules-02-00165-1
file attached ....   its an old paper but still was on top of my googling...


and even thailand is studying it, i donot know if they are using the
knowledge  though....http://www.scipharm.at/download.asp?id=199

ANY HORTICULTURIST AMONG  US OR such authority figures among our vast
numbers of members?    I would love to hear from you and .

thanks
