Artemisia spinescens (budsage)

Synonyms: Picrothamnus desertorum

Wikipedia Abstract

Artemisia spinescens is a North American species of sagebrush in the sunflower family, known by the common name budsage. Many sources treat the species separately from genus Artemisia and named Picrothamnus desertorum. This separation has not, however, been supported by genetic analysis.
