I've lumped on this page the information on page Wormwood (I think that makes sense). Which species give absinthe its flavour and which bring thujone needs to be straightened; it should at least be consistent with the absinthe page... Azhyd 22:26, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

Added a warning that thujone is a neurotoxin. It really is, folks.

So, don't drink wormwood oil. --Elix 05:58, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Taiwan's "aicao"

Plenty of "Artemisia princeps Pamp. var. orientalis (Pamp.) Hara" here in Taiwan, but no mention in the article. --User:Jidanni 2006-04-19

[edit] The dusty miller reference...

The name "Dusty Miller" is occasionaly used for several small shrub-like plants with distinct silver foliage. None of the members of Artemesia are generally refered to as this. Typically, "Dusty Miller" refers to the plant Senecio cineraria

[edit] Artemisia pallens

What about Artemisia pallens! Can any one enlist this too :)Pratheepps 07:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Just added some stuff about witchcraft practices and Artemisia that I found by accident and thought interesting. Phillippos 21:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia section

I renamed "Associations in human culture" to "Trivia." The information in this section should be integrated into the body of the article or removed. Helikophis 17:32, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
