Sagebrush

Artemisia 

 Is a large, diverse genus of plants belonging to the daisy family Asteraceae, with between 200 and 400 species. Common names for various species in the genus include mugwort, wormwood, and sagebrush. Artemisia comprises hardy herbaceous plants and shrubs, which are known for the powerful chemical constituents in their essential oils. Artemisia species grow in temperate climates of both hemispheres, usually in dry or semiarid habitats. Notable species include A. vulgaris (common mugwort), A. tridentata (big sagebrush), A. annua (sagewort), A. absinthium (wormwood), A. dracunculus (tarragon), and A. abrotanum (southernwood). The leaves of many species are covered with white hairs.
It is native to Europe and Asia and has naturalized much of the world; it is fairly common throughout the UK.

 leaves are green on top and white underneath, they have pointed tips and purplish stems. They are deeply lobed and have an aromatic scent, similar to rosemary or sage.
Artemisia species grow in temperate climates of both hemispheres, usually in dry or semiarid habitats. The small flowers are wind-pollinated.

Artemisia species are found on every continent except Antarctica, and have become part of many ecosystems around the world as a result. Below is currently a partial view of the importance of Artemisia species in ecosystems around the world.

HABITAT
 Wasteland and disturbed land beside busy tracks and on untended grassy roadside verges hot dry
: Most Artemisia species prefer a sunny spot (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight) to develop their best foliage color and maintain a compact growth habit, but can tolerate part shade. Soil: Plant Artemisia in poor to moderately fertile, well-draining soil.

Nursery starts can be put in the ground in the spring as soon as the soil is soft enough to be workable. Tease out the root ball and dig a hole just big enough to accommodate it. Place the plant in the hole so that the top of the root ball is even with the ground and cover the roots with soil, gently tamping it down to provide stability before watering.
A hard cutback of the plants in summer can be beneficial to encourage new growth of previously suffering plants
 grows 2-4 feet tall and wide. The plant flowers from mid to late summer with greenish-white blooms.

HISTORY
 very important species in the history of medicine, formerly described in medieval Europe as “the most important master against all exhaustions”. It is a species known as a medicinal plant in Europe and also in West Asia and North America.
traditionally used as a remedy for a variety of complaints, especially those of a gynaecological nature, and so the wormwood genus bears the name of the Greek goddess of childbirth, Artemis. The specific name derives from apsínthion, the Greek term for the plant.
Artemisia I (flourished 5th century bce) was the queen of Halicarnassus, a Greco-Carian city in the ancient district of Caria (in southwestern Anatolia), and of the nearby islands of Cos, Calymnos, and Nisyrus about 480 bce.
Artemisia led a fleet of ships to the island of Cos to slaughter the Coans, but the gods intervened. After Artemisia's ships were destroyed by lightning and she hallucinated visions of great heroes, she fled Cos. However, she later conquered the island.
The genus was erected by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The name Artemisia derives from the Greek goddess Artemis (Roman Diana), the namesake of Greek Queens Artemisia I and II.[6] A more specific reference may be to Artemisia II of Caria, a botanist and medical researcher (also a queen and naval commander), who died in 350 BC.









                                               



The entire plant is toxic if ingested. And to PETS


Landscape Gardens Parks Patios pots Artemisia tea can be prepared with the flowers or leaves of this plant. Some chemicals contained in Artemisia herba-alba seem to kill parasites and bacteria.


used for the treatment and prevention of fever, chills and malaria, in traditional and modern medicine (Hien and white 1993)
Parasitic infections such as roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and flukes. There is some evidence that taking an Artemisia herba-alba water extract might reduce symptoms and cure pinworm infections in adults and children after 3 days of treatment.
There is not enough information to know if Artemisia herba-alba is safe.
Some people involved in a research project that studied Artemisia herba-alba experienced lowered blood pressure and lowered heart rate. The significance of these effects is unknown.
 Artemisia herba-alba for cough, stomach and intestinal upset, the common cold, measles, diabetes, yellowed skin (jaundice), anxiety, irregular heartbeat, and muscle weakness.

HI

A FOR ANTHESIS [Campsis with fruit ]     is the period during which a flower is fully open and functional. It may also refer to the onset of that period.
