Artemisia Graveolens

glabrous

ARTEMISIA GRAVEOLENS.

Perennial, somewhat woody at the base, with numerous simple branches, these strict and striate, glabrous; leaves twice or thrice pinnately dissected into narrow divisions, glabrous, or finely gray ish pubescent beneath ; heads in a narrow strict panicle, distinctly pedicelled, about 4 mm. in diameter ; bracts ovate, glabrous, with a brownish scarious margin ; flowers brown ; whole plant heavy scented and covered with glutinous dots.

It comes nearest to A. discolor, from which it differs in being almost glabrous, the pedicelled, not nodding heads, and the heavy scent.

Type : J. H. Flodman, no. 881, from Long Baldy in the Little Belt Mountains, Aug. 19, 1896. Also collected by Frank Tweedy, no. 310, in Park county, 1887.
