I am currently revising Artemisia sect. Artemisia in western Europe. In addition to native A. vulgaris and more or less widely naturalized A. verlotiorum from China, several additional species have been identified (A. argyi, A. princeps, A. selengensis and A. umbrosa). Their separation is not straightforward.
A supplementary species, probably also from Asia, remains unidentified. It is similar to A. vulgaris but flowers ca. 1,5 month later (like the other Asian species in western Europe), has longer rhizomes and more finely dissected middle cauline leaves. Phyllaries are persistently white hairy. With Fl. China it keys out as A. mongolica and it closely matches the type of this species (held in P).
Is someone familiar with this or related species? Photos and a herbarium scan are available here under. A picture of the type can be seen here: http://science.mnhn.fr/institution/mnhn/collection/p/item/p00711954.
Thank you and best wishes,
Filip
Dear Filip: If no local specialist (from Asia) could add you, maybe you could contact Dr Jordi Lopez-Pujol (Institut Botanic de Barcelona, [email protected]), who has been working several times in China and maybe will have useful contacts. Cheers.
Dear Filip,
I have always had difficulties with plants of the Artemisa vulgaris group we collected during our reserch trips to southern Siberia. There is a goog cllection of plants from northen Asia at BRNU but many taxa are lacking. In general, the things are now getting better as there is a large collection of photographs at http://plantarium.ru. It seems to me that most of the identicficatins are correct as some excellent field botanists are involved. Unfortunately, there is no photograph of A. mongolica available at the site yet.
Best wishes,
Jiří
Dear Filip!
For a week I can not send you mail a letter with my answer. Is there a problem? I can write here?
All the best,
Anna
Hi Anna,
Glad to hear from you! Yes, you can send your comments via ResearchGate, of course. I receive messages all the time at my address here at the Garden ([email protected]). Strange that you can't reach me this way.
Best wishes and take care!
Filip
Hi, Filip!
I sent a letter to my other addresses. I also send letters to all except you ((
