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]
