Mountain wormwood Artemisia ludoviciana ssp. incompta Asteraceae |
[The name wormwood comes from the Old English word wermod of uncertain meaning and refers to the use in olden times of another Artemisia species (absinthium) and its extracts
as an intestinal anthelmintic or vermifuge to get rid of worms. It was also used apparently to protect clothes and bedding from moths and fleas. Better known perhaps was its use as an ingredient in absinthe, vermouth, and other alcoholic beverages.] |
