Differences between Artemisia selengensis and Artemisia argyi

1. Difference of blades

The basal leaves and the leaves on the lower part of the stem are narrowly ovate or elliptic-ovate, rarely broadly ovate, and will wilt during the flowering period. The leaves in the middle are oblong or linear-lanceolate, and the leaves on the upper part are smaller, elliptical or lanceolate.

The leaves of Artemisia argyi have short grayish-white hairs, white glandular dots and small depressions. The basal leaves have long petioles. The leaves below the stem are nearly circular or broadly ovate, the middle leaves are ovate or triangular-ovate, and the upper leaves are similar to the former, being elliptical or lanceolate.
