<strong>Artemisia</strong> <strong>vulgaris</strong><br />
Mugwort<br />
Introduction<br />
The genus <strong>Artemisia</strong> includes more<br />
than 300 species, which are distributed<br />
primarily in temperate regions and<br />
subtropics of Asia, Europe and North<br />
America. In China, there are 186 species<br />
and 44 varieties belonging to 2 subgenera<br />
with a nationwide distribution. Members<br />
of the genus <strong>Artemisia</strong> are well-known<br />
as aromatic herbs [103] .<br />

Taxonomy<br />
Family: Compositae<br />
(Asteraceae)<br />
Genus: <strong>Artemisia</strong> L.<br />
Description<br />
Commonly known as mugwort, <strong>Artemisia</strong><br />
<strong>vulgaris</strong> is a perennial herb that can<br />
reach 60-160 cm high, with many thin<br />
lateral roots. The branched, purplishbrown<br />
stems are parallel grooved, with<br />
ascending twigs covered with short<br />
hairs. Leaves are papery, pubescent,<br />
dark green on the upper surface, and<br />
have various shapes depending on<br />
their position on the plant. The leaves<br />
near the base are elliptic and oblong,<br />
bipinnate (divided two times) deeply<br />
even nearly to midrib. The leaves in<br />
the middle are elliptic to ovate, 3-10<br />
cm long and 1.5-6 cm wide, pinnate<br />
or bipinnate, with four to five lobes<br />
that are elliptic lanceolate or linear<br />
lanceolate, 3-5 cm long and 1-1.5 cm<br />
wide, with more than one tooth on the<br />
tip. The leaves near the top are small,<br />
also pinnate and lanceolate-lobed, not<br />
significantly toothed or even entire.<br />
Head inflorescences are oblong, 2.5-<br />
3 mm in diameter, borne densely in a<br />
spike on the branched twigs as well as<br />
spreading panicles on the stems. There<br />
are seven to ten purple female flowers,<br />
with narrow tube-shaped corollas.<br />
Bisexual flowers number 8-20, with<br />
tube or goblet shaped corollas, and<br />
long densely ciliate hairs at the top of<br />
the style. Fruits, appearing from August<br />
to October together with flowers, are<br />
obovate or ovate achenes [103] .<br />
Habitat<br />
Mugwort grows in high-elevation pastures,<br />
forest edges, valleys, hillside wasteland,<br />
ditches, and roadsides [112][103] .<br />
Distribution<br />
In China, mugwort has been reported<br />
to occur in Shaanxi and Qinghai at<br />
elevations above 2,500 m, as well<br />
as in western Gansu and Xinjiang at<br />
elevations of 1,500 to 2,100 m [103] .<br />
<strong>Artemisia</strong> <strong>vulgaris</strong> is also reported<br />
to occur in Sichuan and the desert of<br />
Inner Mongolia [103] [112] .<br />

Economic Importance<br />
In addition to the volatile oil psilostachyin,<br />
which contributes to its strong aroma,<br />
mugwort also contains other medically<br />
active ketones and alkaloids. Mugwort<br />
is also used as a livestock feed [103] .<br />
Related Species<br />
In China, mugwort, the common name<br />
of <strong>Artemisia</strong> <strong>vulgaris</strong> is often confused<br />
with A. argyi, which is a common<br />
inhabitant of wastelands, roadsides,<br />
riversides, and hilly slopes, as well<br />
as the forests and prairie at low to<br />
moderate elevations [103] .<br />
