:''For other uses of the name Artemisia, see [[Artemisia (disambig)]]'' '''''Artemisia''''' is a large, diverse [[genus]] of plants with between 200-400 species belonging to the daisy family [[Asteraceae]]. It comprises hardy [[herb]]s and [[shrub]]s known for their volatile [[oil]]s. They grow in temperate climates of the [[Northern Hemisphere]] and [[Southern Hemisphere]], usually in dry or semi-dry habitats. The fern-like [[Leaf|leaves]] of many species are covered with white hairs. Some botanists split the genus into several genera, but DNA analysis (Watson ''et al''. 2002) does not support the maintenance of the genera ''Crossostephium'', ''Filifolium'', ''Neopallasia'', ''Seriphidium'', and ''Sphaeromeria''; three other [[segregate (taxonomy)|segregate]] genera ''[[Stilnolepis]]'', ''[[Elachanthemum]]'', and ''[[Kaschgaria]]'' are maintained by this evidence. Common names used for several species include [[wormwood]], [[mugwort]], [[sagebrush]] and [[sagewort]], while a few species have unique names, notably [[Tarragon]] ''A. dracunculus'' and [[Southernwood]] ''A. abrotanum''. Occasionally some of the species are called sages, causing confusion with the ''Salvia'' [[Salvia|sage]]s in the family [[Lamiaceae]]. {{Inc| Artemisia (Artemisia, wife of Mausolus). Compositae. Wormwood. A large genus of aromatic and bitter herbs and small shrubs, mostly in the northern hemisphere, and most abundant in arid regions. Leaves alternate, often dissected: heads small and mostly inconspicuous, numerous, and generally nodding, with yellow or whitish florets, wholly discoid, the involucre imbricated in several rows. In the West, many of the species, particularly A. tridentata, are known as sage brush. Grown for their medicinal properties or for foliage effects. The drug product of the artemisias is large. A. Absinthium is the chief source of absinthe; A. Barrelieri, Bess., of Spain, is said to be used in the preparation of Algerian absinthe; A. Cina, Berger, of the Orient, is the source of santonica. The garden kinds are perennials and thrive in the most ordinary conditions, even in poor and dry soil. Propagation is mostly by division. A. Baumgartenii, Bees. Compact, shrub-like, with small Lvs. and yellow fls. standing erect above the lvs. S. Eu.—A. lanata, Willd (A. pedemontana, Balbis). Low cesspitose plant with finely cut, silvery foliage for which it is chiefly grown.
