Thank you.

Dear Saroj,

   You may be right - the FOI plant could be Artemisia dubia. Artemisia roxburghiana is not found in East Himalaya.

However, there seems to be a reasonable resemblance to Artemisia indica too:

But  Artemisia dubia Wall. ex Besser is not syn of Artemisia roxburghiana Besser. as indicated in the page.

Thank you.

Oh, I think you are referring to this page:

  http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Roxburgh's%20Wormwood.html

and not the one for Artemisia indica on FOI.

Yes, that synonymy needs to be corrected

Artemisia indica in FOI may be https://efloraofindia.com/2012/11/09/artemisia-dubia/

Pl. check.

It may be possible Garg ji. However I checked out some characters of the two species. One character is that the branches in Artemisia dubia are flexuous and horizontal, while in Artemisia indica  the branches are obliquely spreading, particularly in the inflorescence. The FOI plant seems to agree with Artemisia indica in this aspect. The nature of the inflorescence also appears closer to Artemisia indica.

   Best wishes
