Defintely Artemisia but this is a large and difficult genus identification-wise. In the past I relied upon staff at the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew naming e.g. the pressed specimens we gathered during the University of Southampton Ladakh Expedition in 1980 to the Suru Valley (a duplicate set of specimens was deposited in the herbarium of the University of Kashmir at Srinagar). Stewart in 'An Annotated Catalogue of the Vascular Plants of Pakistan and Kashmir' (1972) lists 22 species of Artemisia. The large flower-heads made me initially think of *A,macrocephala* but the specimen here does not come close to matching what I understand to be this species, flower or foliage-wise. I have yet to spend much time scrutinising this genus in Ladakh, so would be pleased if anyone can suggest possibilities or knows which species it is, with confidence.
