Artemisia princeps

Artemisia indica var. maximowiczii

Artemisia princeps is one of the mugworts most closely tied to Japanese yomogi culture. In the local source material it is treated as the familiar mugwort behind food use, fragrance, baths, and household medicinal practice, and recent review literature groups it with A. argyi and A. montana as a chemically important East Asian aromatic species.
