Abstract
'Norine' is a hybrid cultivar of basil, adapted to the Northeastern Brazil, which is derived from the cultivars 'Cinnamon' and 'Maria Bonita'. It has essential oil content of 2.91% and yield of 2.37 mL plant-1. The main chemical compounds of the essential oil are (E)-methyl cinnamate (41.93 %) and linalool (34.92 %). 'Norine' is characterized by presenting upright growth habit, rounded crown, mean height of 55 cm, mean crown diameter of 59 cm, mean leaf length of 8.4 cm, and mean leaf width of 4.5 cm

Summary
Basil (Ocimum basilicum L. - Lamiaceae) is an annual or perennial plant, depending on where it is grown. (E)-methyl cinnamate is one of the components of the essential oil of basil, which produces a flavor similar to cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and can be used in “fine” perfumery, cosmetics, and other personal hygiene products, as well as in non-cosmetic products (Sharma and Kanwar 2012). Linalool is another component, and it is the main target of basil genetic improvement programs due to its various properties, including sedative, anxiolytic, analgesic, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, and anesthetic properties. This study presents the hybrid cultivar ‘Norine’, which contains linalool and (E)-methyl cinnamate as its major compounds
