Artemisia scoparia, often called redstem wormwood, is a fine-leaved annual species with a long medicinal history across Asia and Eurasia. Review literature treats it as a chemically active aromatic herb rather than just a weedy Artemisia of open ground, which gives the species more cultural and pharmacological weight than its airy habit first suggests.
