The essential oils of Quendelblättrigen Calamint have in laboratory tests to be effective against numerous fungi such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus ochraceus, Cladosporium cladosporioides, tricinctum Fusarium, Trichoderma viride, ochrochloron Penicillium and Phomopsis helianthi and bacteria such as Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and subtilis Bacillus. It is a good bee plant and gives off an intense scent.
The spring mint is used to flavor hearty dishes.Īs a garden plant, it is suitable for the Mediterranean rock garden or the Alpinum. The plant parts have a pleasant and intense aroma and can be prepared as tea. In addition to the above, another synonym is Micromeria rupestris (Wulfen) Benth. Govaerts 2003 it is a hybrid, Clinopodium nepeta × Clinopodium rupestre and also has the synonym × Clinomicromeria hostii (Caruel) Govaerts. On the basis of molecular genetic analyzes, some species that had previously been included in Micromeria were placed after Clinopodium. Until 2005 the mountain mint was scientifically known as Micromeria thymifolia (Scop.) Fritsch. The new combination to Clinopodium thymifolium (Scop.) Kuntze was published in 1891 by Carl Ernst Otto Kuntze. It was first described in 1772 by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli under the name ( Basionym ) Satureja thymifolia Scop. Ĭharacteristics of the common mountain mint In addition, small amounts of β-caryophyllene and limonene. The characteristic, pleasant scent of the whiskey bermint comes from the monoterpene ketones, which are represented with 33% pulegone, 26% piperitenone, 11% piperiton and 5% isomenthone. The oils are dominated by oxidized monoterpenes of the menthane type: including piperitenone oxides, pulegone, piperitenone. These are assigned a pharmacological effect. Chemotaxonomic CharacteristicsĬlinopodium thymifolium is a plant rich in essential oils with a share of more than 0.5%. The partial fruits are egg-shaped, 0.8 to 1, rarely up to 1.2 millimeters long and 0.4 to 0.5 millimeters wide and narrowed at their tip to a blunt beak. The white corolla tube is 4 to 5 millimeters long the upper lip 2 to 3 mm long, straight or short incised, whitish or light purple the lower lip is three-lobed, bent downwards with a purple pattern on a white background. It is two-lipped with two short triangular and uniform calyx teeth that are six times shorter than the calyx tube. The calyx has 13 nerves that protrude strongly, it is usually 3 millimeters long, tubular, smooth or with attached hair, glandular-dotted. The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic with a double flower envelope. The loosely standing pseudopeared inflorescence consists of composite pseudo whorls with 5 to 10 flowers each, there are 10 to 30 flowers on short stems. The flowering period extends from (July) August to September (October). The underside of the leaf is glandular-dotted. The washed-out green, entire or bluntly toothed leaf blade is elliptical to ovoid with a length of 5 to 20 millimeters. The distinct petiole is 5 to 6, rarely up to 7 millimeters long. The opposite leaves are divided into petiole and leaf blade. The stem axis is square, blunt and shiny. The shoot axes are dense, upright, bush-shaped and break easily. The species has numerous, practically hairless, stem axes and is little to strongly branched. The parts of the plant are extremely aromatic. The lower area of the shoot axes and the rhizome are woody. The quendel-leaved mountain mint grows as a perennial subshrub and reaches stature heights of usually 20 to 40 (15 to 50) centimeters.
