Our statute reads:
"Whoever invents or discovers and asexually reproduces any distinct and new
variety of plant, including cultivated sports, mutants, hybrids, and newly
found seedlings, other than a tuber propagated plant or plant found in an
uncultivated state, may obtain a plant patent therefore"

Few plants are worthy enough to make the investments necessary to obtain,
market and protect the patented material.

But, to answer your question: jojoba and neem.
