88. Artemisia L. View in CoL 12

Herbs or small shrubs, frequently aromatic. Leaves alternate. Capitula small, usually pendent, in racemose, paniculate or capitate inflorescences, rarely solitary. Involucral bracts in few rows. Receptacle flat to hemispherical, without scales, sometimes hirsute. Florets all tubular. Achenes obovoid, subterete or compressed, smooth, finely striate or 2-ribbed; pappus absent or sometimes a small scarious ring.
