From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chinese Mugwort (Artemisia verlotiorum) is often confused with Common Mugwort, which is closely related. It is named for J.B. Verlot, who first distinguished the plant from A. vulgaris in 1877, and is sometimes referred to as Verlot's Mugwort.[1] It has oblong reddish to brown capitula, its stems are green and the leaves broader, lighter colored and more dense on the stem. The plant is more strongly and pleasantly aromatic than A. vulgaris.[2] It flowers very late in the summer, but reproduces mainly by stolons, thus forming thick groups. Chinese Mugwort shares the same habitat as Common Mugwort and both are very common.
