Artemisia absinthium, Linn. Wormwood. Absinthium. Almost shrubby, 2-4 ft. high, spreading and branchy, white-silky: Lvs. 2-3-parted into oblong, obtuse lobes: heads small and numerous, in leafy panicles.—Wormwood is native to Eu., but it occasionally escapes from gardens. It is a common garden herb, being used in domestic medicine, especially as a vermifuge. Wormwood tea is an odorous memory with every person who was reared in the country. See Absinthe and Wormwood.
