Last three specimens from Delhi are Artemisia capillaris because of longer leaf segments which are linear in shape barely 0.3-0.5 mm broad as against shorter and broader (0.5-1 mm) segments of A. scoparia from Kashmir.

Please ignore last three images from Delhi, which I am uploading separately as A. capillaris.
