Garg ji and Saroj ji I was wondering all the time why Artemisia scoparia is not listed in BSI Flora of India, although both A. stricta and A. scoparia are listed in FBI. BSI Flora lists A. stricta and A. capillaris (with A. scoparia as synonym). eFlora of Pakistan lists all three A. capillaris, A. stricta and A. scoparia being distributed in India. I am reproducing keys from both 9 (5) <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=102682#KEY-1-5> Annual or biennial herbs with procumbent to ascending , up to 20 (-30) cm tall stems. Panicle very narrowly pyramidate, c. 1.5 – 2 cm wide, with up to 4 cm long suberect branches. 5 Artemisia stricta <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242101025> + Biennial or perennial, with usually more than 30 cm tall stems. Panicle broadly pyramidate, with more than 5 cm long branches. (10) <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=102682#KEY-1-10>
10 (9) <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=102682#KEY-1-9> Leaf segments linear-lanceolate, 3 – 4 (-5) mm long, 0.5 – 1 mm wide. 6 Artemisia scoparia <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200023326> + Leaf segments filiform, 8 – 12 mm long, 0.3 – 0.5 mm wide. 7 Artemisia capillaris <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200023185> 8a. Heads secund; involucral bracts glabrous; achenes narrowly obovate 6. *Artemisia capillaris <https://efloraindia.bsi.gov.in/eFlora/taxonList.action?id=5041&type=4>* b. Heads not secund; involucral bracts hairy; achenes narrowly obconic 27. *Artemisia stricta <https://efloraindia.bsi.gov.in/eFlora/taxonList.action?id=5063&type=4>*Both Flora record plants of A. stricta not taller than 30 cm, very rarely up to 60 cm. My above plant from Dachhigam is nearly 1 m tall, with linear-lanceolate segments which suggests A. scoparia.
