Hi, Paradesi ji,

Is it listed in south India ?

As per BSI Flora of India and Flora of Peninsular India, it is not listed (although it is not clear from POWO).

Anyway it (A.indica syn: Artemisia vulgaris var. indica (Willd.) Hassk.) is quite close to A.niligarica (syn: A.vulgaris var. niligarica)

In South India recorded under vulgaris only Garg Ji.

[Sam Kuzhalanattu]

Thank you very much dear Paradesi ji for the confirmation, with kind regards, Sam.

[J.M. Garg]

But BSI Flora of India does not list A.vulgaris although Flora of Peninsular India mentions it. 

On further checking, BSI Flora of India mentions distribution of A.indica as India: Gangetic Plain, Deccan Peninsula and the Himalayas, ascending up to 3000 m. Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, W. Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya and Tamil Nadu; Myanmar, Thailand, S. China and Japan.

So I keep it as A.indica as per FoC illustration.
