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]
