Summary

[edit]
Description

The Royal Botanical Gardens is headquartered in Burlington and also include lands in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

We were able to spend the morning there, on our way back to Toronto Airport.

Artemisia ludoviciana is a North American species in the Daisy family Asteraceae, known by several common names, including Silver Wormwood, Western Mugwort, Louisiana Wormwood, White Sagebrush, and Gray Sagewort.

Ludoviciana is the Latinized version of the word Louisiana.

The plant is native to North America where it is widespread across most of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Artemisia ludoviciana is a rhizomatous perennial plant growing up to 1 metre (3ft) in height. The stems bear linear leaves, both stems and foliage being covered in woolly grey or white hairs.

The top of the stem is occupied by a narrow inflorescence of many nodding flower heads. Each small head is a cup of hairy phyllaries surrounding a centre of yellowish disc florets. The fruit is a minute achene.

This plant is used by many Native American groups for a variety of medicinal, veterinary, and ceremonial purposes.
