Artemisia scoparia is a Eurasian species in the genus Artemisia, in the sunflower family. It is widespread across much of Eurasia from France to Japan, including China, India, Russia, Germany, Poland, central + southwest Asia, etc.[4][5]

The English common name of Artemisia scoparia is virgate wormwood,[6] capillary wormwood,[6] or redstem wormwood. In Mandarin Chinese it is known as yīn chén (Traditional: 茵陳) and it is an important traditional Chinese medicine,[citation needed][7] and is considered interchangeable with Artemisia capillaris for that purpose. Its pollen can be allergenic.[8]
