Perilla is a genus consisting of one major Asiatic crop species Perilla frutescens and a few wild species in nature belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. The genus encompasses several distinct varieties of Asian herb, seed, and vegetable crop, including P. frutescens (deulkkae) and P. frutescens var. crispa (shiso).[1] The genus name Perilla is also a frequently employed common name ("perilla"), applicable to all varieties.[2][3] Perilla varieties are cross-fertile and intra-specific hybridization occurs naturally.[1] Some varieties are considered invasive.[4]
