Artemisia Artemisia vulgaris Le genre Artemisia (les armoises) regroupe des herbacées, des arbrisseaux et des arbustes, généralement aromatiques, densément tomenteux, pubescents ou glabres, de la famille des Astéracées. Leurs feuilles sont pennées (rarement palmées). L’armoise a notamment des propriétés diurétiques et l’artémisinine que l'on extrait de certaines espèces, en particulier d’Artemisia annua, a plusieurs applications en médecine. Il ne faut pas confondre ces plantes avec l'Ambroisie à feuilles d'armoise (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) qui est connue pour être la cause de redoutables allergies respiratoires.

Article

Artemisia (/ˌɑːrtəˈmiːziə/ art-ə-MEE-zee-ə) is a large, diverse genus of plants belonging to the daisy family, Asteraceae, with almost 500 species. Common names for various species in the genus include mugwort, wormwood, and sagebrush.

Some botanists split the genus into several genera, but DNA analysis does not support the maintenance of the genera Crossostephium, Filifolium, Neopallasia, Seriphidium, and Sphaeromeria; three other segregate genera—Stilnolepis, Elachanthemum, and Kaschgaria—are maintained by this evidence. Occasionally, some of the species are called sages, causing confusion with the Salvia sages in the family Lamiaceae.
