Artemisia capillaris from Delhi-GS02122021-1

[Gurcharan Singh]

I had already mixed up my specimens under A. scoparia from which A. capillaris differs as under:

0 (9)	Leaf segments linear-lanceolate, 3 – 4 (-5) mm long, 0.5 – 1 mm wide.		6 Artemisia scoparia
+	Leaf segments filiform, 8 – 12 mm long, 0.3 – 0.5 mm wide.		7 Artemisia capillaris

According to eFlora of Pakistan A. capillaris is distributed below 1000 m altitude, BSI Flora of India does not recognise A. scoparia as distinct from A. capillaris.

Photographed from Vikas Puri, Delhi.

Please ignore these specimens from A. scoparia upload
