A96F5038A24BFF9B06BFF8AA0FB4E0A2.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — This species is distributed in Xizang, China (Figure 2). It grows in slopes, canyons, and roadsides at elevations of 2400 – 3700 m. Phenology: — Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Taxonomic notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia aucheri, Boissier (1875) cited four gatherings from Iran: Aucher-Eloy 3474, Haussknecht s. n., Buhse s. n., Bunge s. n., but did not indicate the herbarium where these specimens were deposited. Podlech (1986) later designated the gathering Aucher-Eloy 3474 at G and P as the type. We have traced seven sheets of this gathering, two from G, two from P, and one each from BM, FI and K. All sheets match perfectly the original description. According to Arts. 7.10, 7.11, 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), Podlech’s (1986) lectotypification should be narrowed. Therefore, sheet G 00764610 with relatively complete morphological characteristics has been designated as the lectotype, and the other six sheets as isolectotypes. In China, Ling (1980) first recorded the distribution of A. aucheri in western Xizang based on the earlier literature. This species was subsequently included in Flora Xizang (Ling 1985 a), Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991 b) and Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011). In this study, the presence of this species in western Xizang is confirmed. Artemisia aucheri is easily distinguished from other species in A. subg. Seriphidium by its glabrous, rigid lower and middle leaves, which are 2 - pinnatisect and often wither at maturity. Specimens examined: — China.

A96F5038A241FF9D06BFF91A0C56E6FF.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — This species is distributed in southwestern Xinjiang, China (Figure 8). Some authors reported that it also occurs in Gansu (Ling 1991 b, Wei 1999, Ling et al. 2011), but no voucher specimens from this region were examined in this study. It grows in semidesert steppes, meadows, hills, dry slopes, terraces, and along roadsides at elevations of 1500 – 3500 m. Phenology: — Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Taxonomic notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia fedtschenkoana, Krascheninnikov (1936) cited a gathering O. Knorring 982 as the type, without providing specific herbarium information. Filatova (1984) later cited the same collection information as the protologue but noted a different collection number (Filatova: No. 932 vs. Krascheninnikov: No. 982) and specified that the type is stored at LE. We have traced four sheets of this gathering, two from LE and one each from PE and TASH. These sheets have the collection information mentioned in the protologue, except that the collection number is 932 instead of 982, and match perfectly the original description. The identification labels on four sheets also bear Krascheninnikov’s handwriting, indicating “ Artemisia fedtschenkoana Krasch. ”. Two sheets also include his note “ sp. n. (species nova) ”. Based on this evidence, this inconsistency may result from an error by Krascheninnikov (1936). According to Art. 9.2 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), the collection number of the type has been corrected. In addition, according to Arts. 7.10, 7.11, 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), the four sheets deposited at LE, PE, and TASH should be considered syntypes of this species. The syntypes at LE, including the two sheets designated by Filatova (1984), require further refinement. Consequently, sheet LE 01018087 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other three sheets as isolectotypes. Specimens examined: — China.

Taxonomic notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia ferganensis, Poljakov (1954) designated the gathering “ 23 May 1911, O. Knorring & Z. Minkvitz 158 ” at LE as the type. We have found two sheets from this gathering at LE that closely matched the original description. The collection information is consistent with the protologue, except for the collection date (specimen: 23 May 1911 vs. protologue: 25 May 1911). This inconsistency may result from an error by Poljakov (1954). According to Art. 9.2 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), the collection date of the type has been corrected. In accordance with Arts. 9.6 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), the two sheets at LE should be regarded as syntypes.

A96F5038A25BFF8A06BFFF4C0C0AE7A1.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — The species is distributed in northern Xinjiang, China (Figure 16). It grows in rocky slopes, gobi desert and desert steppes at elevations of 500 – 1500 m. Phenology: — Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Taxonomic notes: — Artemisia juncea is easily distinguished from other species within A. subg. Seriphidium by its leaf blade ternately 3 - lobed and is widely recognized as a distinct taxonomic entity (Krascheninnikov 1949, Bondarenko & Butkov 1962, Nikitina 1965, Filatova 1966, 1982, 1993, 2007, Ling 1991 a, 1991 b, Liu 1992, Wei 1999, Ling et al. 2011, Yang 2012). Poljakov (1954: 423) described A. macrosciadia as a new species, noting its similarity to A. juncea. It is distinguished by its lower stem leaves 1.5 – 2 cm long (vs. 2 – 4 cm), terminal lobes 4 – 6 mm long (vs. 5 – 15 mm), and capitula 5 – 6 mm long (vs. 4 – 6 mm). However, in the Flora of the USSR (Poljakov 1961 a), the same author treated A. macrosciadia as a variety of A. juncea. Although this taxonomic treatment was accepted by several taxonomists (Nikitina 1965, Ling 1991 b, Ling et al. 2011), it was synonymized with A. juncea by Bondarenko & Butkov (1962) and Filatova (1966, 1982, 1993). When examining the specimens (including types) of A. macrosciadia and A. juncea, it was found that the two species share consistent key diagnostic traits, including leaf shape and size, branching position and length and capitulum shape. Therefore, this study supports the treatment of A. macrosciadia as a synonym of A. juncea. Specimens examined: — CHINA. Xinjiang: Urumqi, nearby hillside, 1000 m, 8 September 1931, T. N.

Phytotaxa 686 (1): 1-103, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.686.1.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.686.1.1
A96F5038A252FF8D06BFFD680F97E25E.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — Artemisia neolehmanniana is named after the specific epithet of A. lehmanniana with the prefix “ neo ”, indicating that the discovery of the new entity is related to the latter. Vernacular name: — Ǜ ḤḢffiDz (Chinese pinyin: xīn qiú xù juàn hāo). The name is derived from the Chinese name of A. lehmanniana with “ new ” before it. Taxonomic notes: — Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991 b) and Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011) recorded that A. lehmanniana is distributed in northern Xinjiang, China. However, Sylva Xinjiangensis (Yang 2012) noted that the description provided by Ling (1991 b) does not match the original description, and that this species may be distributed in Xizang or southern Xinjiang, China. When examining specimens collected from northern Xinjiang, China, identified by Y. R. Ling as A. lehmanniana, it was found that these specimens are similar to A. lehmanniana in leaf shape, branching position and length, but are distinguished by their perennial herbs (vs. subshrubs), lower stem leaves 2 – 3 - pinnatisect (vs. 3 – 4 - pinnatisect), middle stem leaves 2 - pinnatisect with linear pseudostipules (vs. 3 - pinnatisect with pinnatifid pseudostipules), upper stem leaves pinnatisect (vs. 2 - pinnatisect) and the persistent indumentum on the stems at maturity (vs. shedding). To further determine the identity of the suspected taxon mentioned above, we conducted several field investigations from 2020 to 2024 based on previous collection records. After careful observation of its morphological traits, it was confirmed that the suspected taxon is not A. lehmanniana. In addition, we reviewed the taxonomic literature on A. subg. Seriphidium from countries bordering Xinjiang, China (Kitamura 1960, Poljakov 1961 a, Nikitina 1965, Filatova 1966, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1993, 2007, Kuprianov 1995, Naithani 1995, Krasnoborov 1997, Ghafoor 2002, Urgamal et al. 2014), and confirmed that the taxon previously misidentified as A. lehmanniana in northern Xinjiang is an undescribed species. Therefore, we have provided a detailed taxonomic description and formal nomenclature for this new species. This new species is also similar to A. compacta in habit, branching position and length, but is distinguished by its lower leaves suborbicular (vs. ovoid) and middle leaves with linear (vs. pinnatifid) pseudostipules.

A96F5038A253FFB006BFF9530A64E17E.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — Artemisia nitrosa is distributed in Xinjiang, China (Figure 26). Some authors reported that this species is also distributed in Gansu and Inner Mongolia (Ling 1991 b, Fu 1993, Ling et al. 2011), but no definitive specimens were examined in this study. It grows in gobi, rocky slopes, dry canyons, dry riverbanks, roadsides, terraces, and saline-alkaline soils at elevations up to 1500 m. Phenology: — Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Taxonomic notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia nitrosa, Stechmann (1775) did not designate a type for this name, but cited “ Gmelin 1749, Fl. Sib. 2: p. 113, n. 98, t. 50, fig. 1 ”. Filatova (1984) later designated a specimen from MW (MW 0595095) as the type, suggesting that Gmelin (1749) have examined this specimen when creating the illustration (t. 50, fig. 1). However, it cannot be confirmed whether Stechmann (1775) examined this specimen when describing A. nitrosa, rendering Filatova’s (1984) lectotypification ineffective. According to Arts. 7.8, 9.3, 9.12 and 9.19 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), we have designated the illustration (t. 50, fig. 1) from Flora Sibirica 2 (Gmelin 1749), cited by Stechmann (1775), as the lectotype of A. nitrosa.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

A96F5038A268FFB406BFFDD40E21E286.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — This species is distributed in Gansu and Xinjiang, China (Figure 30). It grows in rocky slopes, steppes, and terraces at elevations of 1500 – 3700 m. Phenology: — Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Taxonomic notes: — Poljakov (1961 a) treated A. skorniakowii as a variety of A. lehmanniana Bunge (1851: 340) and noted its similarity to A. rhodantha. However, A. skorniakowii was later reduced to synonymy of A. rhodantha by Ikonnikov (1963). Nevertheless, Filatova (1993) recognized A. skorniakowii as a separate species and considered A. skorniakowii var. ramosa Winkler (1890: 331) and A. skorniakowii var. pleiocephala Winkler (1890: 332) as synonyms of A. skorniakowii. When examining their type specimens, it was found that A. skorniakowii can be easily distinguished from A. lehmanniana by its stems 4 – 20 cm tall (vs. 30 – 65 cm tall), lower leaves 2 - pinnatisect (vs. 3 - pinnatisect), middle stem leaves 2 - pinnatisect, with linearly pseudopetioles (vs. 2 – 3 - pinnatisect, with pinnatifid pseudopetioles), and upper leaves pinnatisect (vs. 2 - pinnatisect). Additionally, A. skorniakowii, A. skorniakowii var. ramosa, A. skorniakowii var. pleiocephala and A. rhodantha share the same primary distinguishing characteristics in their stem height, leaf type, branch length, position and dispersion range, and capitulum shape. The first three taxa were all collected from the same type location. Therefore, this study supports treating them as the same species. Specimens examined: — China.

A96F5038A26BFFB806BFF96B0F89E136.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — This species is distributed in Xinjiang, China (Figure 34). The species grows in gobi desert and semidesert steppes at elevations up to 1500 m. Phenology: — Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Taxonomic notes: — Ling (1982) supported the recognition of Seriphidium as a separate genus and later described the species S. sawanense Y. R. Ling & C. J. Humphries in Ling (1990: 107). Since Seriphidium has been treated as a subgenus within Artemisia based on recent multidisciplinary evidence (Zhang 2010, Malik et al. 2017, Lu et al. 2022, Jin et al. 2023, Jiao et al. 2023), we transferred the species to Artemisia and proposed a new combination. In the protologue of Artemisia sawanensis (≡ Seriphidium sawanense), Ling (1990) cited five gatherings, including R. C. Ching 1768, Y. R. Ling 74 - 1017, Y. R. Ling 74 - 1063, G. L. Zhu 6200 and Exped. Xinjiang, Acad. Sin. 1768, and indicated R. C. Ching 1768 in PE as the holotype. We have traced three sheets of the gathering (R. C. Ching 1768), two from PE and one from XJBI. They have the information given in the protologue (except for the type locality) and match the original description. These three sheets should be the syntypes of this species. According to Arts. 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), Ling’s (1990) typification should be further narrowed. Therefore, sheet PE 00457688 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other two sheets as isolectotypes. In addition, no information regarding the locality “ Shawan ” was found on the three sheets of the gathering R. C. Ching 1768. In fact, these three specimens were collected from Fuyun, not Shawan in Xinjiang. According to Art. 9.2 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), the type locality has been corrected to “ Xinjiang: Fuyun ”.

A96F5038A266FFB906BFFEA40C9EE6C1.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — This species is distributed in Xinjiang, China (Figure 36). It grows in desert steppes, steppes, meadow steppes, riverbanks, lakeshores, terraces, canyons, saline-alkaline soils, and dunes at elevations of 100 – 1000 m. Phenology: — Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Taxonomic notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia schrenkiana, Ledebour (1845) mentioned that the species description was based on specimens collected by Schrenk in the Tarbagatai region (Kazakhstan). Filatova (1984) later designated the gathering Schrenk s. n. at LE as the type. We have traced two sheets of this gathering in LE. Both sheets match perfectly the original description. According to Arts. 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), Filatova’s (1984) lectotypification should be further narrowed. Therefore, sheet LE 01266938 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other sheet as the isolectotype. This species is similar to A. sawanensis but can be easily distinguished by its lower stem leaves, which are 2 – 3 - pinnatisect (vs. 3 – 4 - pinnatisect), with sparsely arranged segments (vs. compact) and a slightly sparse (vs. dense) indumentum on the stem at maturity.

A96F5038A27DFFA006BFFC400C28E54C.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — This species is distributed in Xinjiang, China (Figure 43). It grows in slopes, canyons, rocky hills, riverbanks, steppes and roadsides at elevations of 500 – 3200 m. Phenology: — Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Taxonomic notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia transiliensis, Poljakov (1954) cited the gathering “ 30 September 1948, P. Poljakov 18 ” at LE as the type. We have traced three sheets of this gathering at LE. These specimens match well the original description. Their collection information is consistent with the protologue except for the collection date (specimen: 30 September 1949 vs. protologue: 30 September 1948). This inconsistency may result from an error by Poljakov (1954). According to Art. 9.2 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), the collection date of the type has been corrected to “ 30 September 1949 ”. Furthermore, according to Arts. 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), Poljakov’s (1954) typification should be further narrowed. Therefore, sheet LE 00052859 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other two sheets as isolectotypes.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Lower stem leaves oblong or elliptic-ovate, 2 – 3 - pinnatisect, 1.5 – 3 cm long, 0.5 – 1.5 cm wide, petiole 1 – 2.5 cm long, with 3 – 4 segments per side, segments further pinnatisect, lobules narrowly linear, 3 – 5 mm long, 0.5 – 1 mm wide, apex acuminate. Middle stem leaves elliptic, 1 – 2 - pinnatisect, 1 – 2 cm long, 0.5 – 1.5 cm wide, with linear pseudostipules. Upper stem leaves pinnatisect, with narrowly linear lobules. The grayish-white tomentum on the stems and branches partially sheds at maturity, while the tomentum on all leaves persists and the leaves have a slightly soft texture. Capitula ovoid, 1.5 – 2 mm long, 1 – 1.5 mm in diameter. Synflorescence a somewhat spreading panicle. Bisexual florets 3 – 5, corolla yellow or red. Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia fulvella, Filatova (1981) cited the gathering G. M. Ladygina, S. S. Ikonnikov & O. Borissenko 10749 at LE as the type. We have traced three sheets of this gathering at LE. All of them have the information given in the protologue and match perfectly the original description. According to Arts. 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), sheet LE 00052868 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other two sheets as isolectotypes. Filatova (1981) first recorded the distribution of A. fulvella in Xinjiang, China, without citing voucher specimens. Filatova (2007) later cited four gatherings from Xinjiang at LE: A. M. Fetisov s. n., A. Regel s. n., A. A. Yunatov et al. 1434 and A. A. Yunatov et al. 1698. We have traced one sheet from each of the latter two gatherings, A. A. Yunatov et al. 1434 (LE 01297096!) and A. A. Yunatov et al. 1698 (LE 01297093!), and identified both as A. nitrosa, not A. fulvella. However, since the voucher specimens for A. M. Fetisov s. n. and A. Regel s. n. are not found, it remains unclear whether A. fulvella is distributed in China. This species is similar to A. nitrosa in habit and synflorescence type but can be distinguished by its lower leaves with petiole 1 – 2.5 cm long (vs. 3 – 7 cm long), 1 – 2 - pinnatisect (vs. 2 - pinnatisect) middle stem leaves, and sparsely tomentose (vs. densely tomentose) leaves. Additionally, A. fulvella resembles A. elongata in indumentum, leaf size, and synflorescence type, but it differs by having 1 – 2 - pinnatisect (vs. 2 - pinnatisect) middle stem leaves and widely spaced (vs. compact) leaf segments.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Lower stem leaves nearly round or oblong, 3 – 4 - pinnatisect, 2 – 3 cm long, 1.5 – 2.5 cm wide, petiole 1 – 2 cm long, with 3 – 6 segments per side, segments further 2 - 3 - pinnatisect, lobules narrowly linear, 3 – 5 mm long, 0.5 – 0.8 mm wide, apex acuminate. Middle stem leaves round or oblong, 3 - pinnatisect, 1 – 2.5 cm long, 1 – 2 cm wide, petiole 0.5 – 1 cm long, with pinnatifid pseudostipules. Upper stem leaves 2 - pinnatisect, with narrowly linear lobules. The grayish-green tomentum on the stems and branches almost completely sheds at maturity, while the tomentum on all leaves persists and the leaves have a slightly soft texture. Capitula ovoid, 2.5 – 3 mm long, 1.5 – 2 mm in diameter. Synflorescence a narrow panicle, branches very short with densely crowded capitula. Phyllaries in 4 – 5 layers, outer phyllaries small, ovoid, middle phyllaries oblong-ovoid, inner phyllaries membranous. Bisexual florets 4 – 8, corolla red. Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia lehmanniana, Bunge (1851) cited the gathering “ in der Alpenregion des Berges Karatau bei Samarkand, 12 September 1841 ”. Filatova (1982) later designated the gathering A. Lehman 665 at LE as the type. Podlech (1986), possibly unaware of Filatova’s (1982) lectotypification, also designated the gathering A. Lehman 665 at P as the type. We have traced one sheet of this gathering at both LE and P. Both sheets have the information given in the protologue and perfectly match the original description. According to Arts. 7.10 and 7.11 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), Filatova’s (1982) lectotypification should be followed. Therefore, sheet LE 00052849 has been considered as the lectotype, and the other sheet at P as the isolectotype. Bondarenko & Butkov (1962) first recorded that A. lehmanniana was distributed in Xinjiang, China, while Filatova (1982) reported its distribution in Xizang, China. Neither of them mentioned the voucher specimens. In China, Ling (1988) first reported that this species was distributed in northern Xinjiang, and it was later included in the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991 b), Flora Xinjiangensis (Wei 1999), and Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011). When examining specimens from China identified by Y. R. Ling as A. lehmanniana, it was determined that they were A. neolehmanniana, misidentified as A. lehmanniana. Since the specimens cited by Bondarenko & Butkov (1962) and Filatova (1982) could not be examined, it remains unclear whether A. lehmanniana is truly distributed in China. This species is easily distinguished from other species in A. subg. Seriphidium by its nearly round lower leaves, which are 3 – 4 - pinnatisect, with narrowly linear lobules, and 3 - pinnatisect middle stem leaves.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Middle stem leaves 1 – 2 - pinnatisect, 2 – 4 cm long, 1 – 2 cm wide, with linear pseudostipules. Upper stem leaves undivided, lobules lanceolate. The grayish-green tomentum on the stems, branches, and leaves almost completely sheds at maturity, and the leaves have a slightly thick and rigid texture. Capitula ovoid, 2 – 4 mm long, 1 – 2 mm in diameter. Synflorescence a spreading panicle. Bisexual florets 4 – 6, with yellow corollas. Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia mongolorum subsp. saissanica, Krascheninnikov (1949 b) did not cite any gathering. Filatova (1982) later designated the gathering V. Reznichenko 456 at LE as the lectotype. We have traced two sheets of this gathering at LE, both of which perfectly match the original description. According to Arts. 9.12, 9.17 and 9.19 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), Filatova’s (1982) lectotypification should be further narrowed. Therefore, sheet LE 01280794 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other sheet as the isolectotype. Filatova (2007) first recorded the distribution of A. saissanica in Xinjiang, China, and cited six gatherings at LE: A. A. Yunatov et al. s. n., Shumakov s. n., A. A. Yunatov et al. 1216, A. A. Yunatov et al. 1263 - 1264, A. A. Yunatov et al. 1547, and A. A. Yunatov et al. 1856. We have traced ten sheets from the latter four gatherings and identified them as A. nitrosa, not A. saissanica. However, since the voucher specimens for A. A. Yunatov et al. s. n. and Shumakov s. n. are not found, it remains unclear whether A. saissanica is distributed in China. When examining A. saissanica specimens collected from Xinjiang, China, and identified by Filatova at LE, some specimens not cited by Filatova (2007) were also identified as A. sawanensis. Although A. saissanica is somewhat similar to A. nitrosa and A. sawanensis in habit and stem height, it can be easily distinguished by its secondary branches, which are 3 – 5 cm long (vs. 1 – 2 cm long or absent), soft (vs. slightly rigid) leaves, and nearly glabrous (vs. pubescent) stems and branches at maturity. Excluded species The following species were reported to be distributed in China but were confirmed in this study to have no distribution there.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Synflorescence a narrow panicle, branches very short with densely crowded capitula. Bisexual florets 4 – 5, corolla yellow or red. Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia amoena, Poljakov (1954) cited the gathering P. Poljakov 76 at LE as the type. We have traced nine sheets of this gathering at LE. All of them have the information given in the protologue and perfectly match the original description. According to Arts. 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), sheet LE 00052852 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other eight sheets as isolectotypes. In China, A. amoena was first recorded in northern Xinjiang by Ling (1988). It was later included in the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991 b), Flora Xinjiangensis (Wei 1999), and Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011). However, no definitive specimens of A. amoena from China were examined in the current study. Additionally, a review of literature on A. amoena from countries bordering Xinjiang (Poljakov 1954, 1961 a, b, Filatova 1966, 1984, Urgamal et al. 2014) showed no records of its distribution in China. Consequently, we have excluded this species from the flora of China in this study. This species can be easily distinguished from other species in A. subg. Seriphidium by its pinnatisect lower and middle leaves and its 1 - 3 cm long branches, which grow obliquely upward along the stem.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Middle stem leaves 2 - pinnatisect, 0.8 – 1 cm long, 0.5 – 0.8 cm wide, with pinnatifid pseudostipules. Upper stem leaves pinnatisect, with linear lobules. The grayish-white tomentum on the stems almost entirely sheds at maturity, revealing dark-brown upper stems, while the tomentum on the branches and leaves persists, and the leaves have a soft texture. Capitula long-ovoid or elliptic, ca. 2 mm long, 1 – 1.5 mm in diameter. Synflorescence a narrow or slightly spreading panicle. Bisexual florets 3 – 5, corolla yellow. Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia brevifolia, Candolle (1837) cited one gathering N. Wallich 416. Podlech (1986) later designated this gathering N. Wallich 416 at G and K as the type of A. brevifolia. We have traced four sheets of this gathering, one from G, one from LE, and two from P. All of them match well the original description. According to Arts. 7.10, 7.11, 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), Podlech’s (1986) lectotypification should be further narrowed. Therefore, sheet G 00460116 has been designated as the lectotype, and the remaining three sheets as isolectotypes. In China, Ling (1980) firstly recorded the distribution of A. brevifolia in western Xizang based on earlier literature, such as Clarke (1876). This species was later included in Flora Xizang (Ling 1985), Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991 b) and Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011). When reviewing the literature on the species, it was found that the name, Artemisia maritima vera, described by Clarke (1876: 159), was synonymized with A. brevifolia by Ling (1980). Clarke (1876) cited specimens collected by T. Thomson from western Tibet when describing Artemisia maritima vera. Historically, the term “ Tibet ” referred to a much larger geographical area than modern-day Xizang, China, encompassing the entire Tibetan Plateau in general (including western Sichuan, Qinghai, southern Gansu, northwestern Yunnan, Xizang, and Kashmir, etc.), while excluding most of southern Xizang at lower altitudes (Chen et al. 2023). A review of T. Thomson’s collecting history revealed that he explored the western Himalayas from 1847 to 1849, focusing on regions such as Ladakh and Kashmir in northern India, but did not reach Xizang, China (Hooker & Thomson 1855). Early Western plant collectors frequently referred to these areas as “ Tibet ”, leading Ling (1980) to mistakenly assume that T. Thomson’s specimens were collected in Xizang. Additionally, no definitive specimens of A. brevifolia from China were examined in the current study. Consequently, we have excluded this species from the flora of China in this study. This species is easily distinguished from other species in A. subg. Seriphidium by its obliquely upward branches, which are 5 – 15 cm long, and its soft, non-shedding leaves that are densely covered with grayish-white tomentum. Additionally, the upper stems are dark-brown at maturity.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Middle stem leaves ovate or oblong, 2 - pinnatisect, 1 – 1.5 cm long, 0.5 – 1 cm wide, petiole 0.5 – 1 cm long, with linear pseudostipules. Upper stem leaves pinnatisect, with linear lobules. The grayish-white tomentum on the stems partially sheds at maturity, while the tomentum on the leaves persists and the leaves have a slightly soft texture. Capitula broadly ovoid, 3 – 4 mm long, 2 – 3.5 mm in diameter. Synflorescence a narrow, spike-like panicle. Bisexual florets 4 – 6, corolla yellow. Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia grenardii, Franchet (1897) cited two gathering “ Teurt Hourak Lik & Tuchuk Boulak, dans l’Altyn tagh, October 1892 ”, without specifying the herbarium. Ling (1991 b) later designated the collection information “ Altyn Tagh, October 1892, Pl. Turkestan, Chinois ” at P as the type of A. grenardii. We have traced two sheets of two gathering (one sheets for each gathering) from P. Two sheets match perfectly the original description. According to Arts. 7.10, 7.11, 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), Ling’s (1991 b) lectotypification of A. grenardii should be narrowed. Therefore, sheet P 02284309 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other one sheet as the isolectotype. Franchet (1897) mentioned that two gatherings cited in the description of A. grenardii were collected in 1892 by the French explorers Dutreuil de Rhins and Fernand Grenard during their expedition from Xinjiang to Tibet. When reviewing Fernand Grenard’s expedition notes, Tibet: The Country and Its Inhabitants (Grenard 1904), it was found that they incorrectly identified the Kunlun Mountains in China as the Altun Mountains. Furthermore, the type specimens of A. grenardii were collected on 8 October 1892. According to Grenard’s account, they arrived in Leh (which was under Tibetan administration during the Qing Dynasty and is now part of Ladakh, India) on 2 October 1892 and departed on 20 October 1892. Based on this timeline, it is inferred that the type specimens were likely collected near Leh, rather than from the Altun Mountains as stated in the protologue. Ling (1980) first reported the distribution of A. grenardii in the Kunlun Mountains of Xinjiang, China. This species was later included in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991 b), Flora Xinjiangensis (Wei 1999), Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011), and Flora Kunlunica (Wei 2012). However, Ling’s (1980) report was based on a misinterpretation of the type locality described in the protologue. Furthermore, no definitive specimens of A. grenardii from China were examined in the current study. Consequently, we have excluded this species from the flora of China in this study. Artemisia grenardii is currently known only from its type specimens. When examining the type, it was found that this species is similar to A. rhodantha in habit, stem height, leaf size, indumentum, branch length and position, and inflorescence type, with overlapping distributions. However, due to the absence of more detailed information, the taxonomic status of this species requires further investigation.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

A96F5038A27AFFA406BFFCF40D76E772.taxon	description	Subshrubs, 35 – 60 cm tall. Stems numerous, often tufted, erect or slightly curved at the base, branching from the upper part, branches 5 – 10 cm long, obliquely upward. Lower stem leaves ovate, 2 – 3 - pinnatisect, 2.5 – 5 cm long, 1.5 – 2 cm wide, petiole 1 – 2 cm long, with 2 – 4 segments per side, segments further pinnatisect, lobules narrowly linear or linear-lanceolate, 4 – 8 mm long, 0.5 – 1 mm wide, apex acuminate. Middle stem leaves 1 – 2 - pinnatisect, 1 – 2.5 cm long, 0.5 – 1.5 cm wide, nearly sessile, with pinnatifid pseudostipules. Upper stem leaves pinnatisect, with narrowly linear lobules. The grayish-white tomentum on the stems and branches almost completely sheds at maturity, the grayish-green tomentum on the leaves partially sheds, and the leaves have a rigid texture, while the lower and middle stem leaves usually wither. Capitula obovoid, 2 – 3.5 mm long, 1.5 – 2 mm in diameter. Synflorescence a narrow panicle, with capitula densely arranged on branches. Bisexual florets 3 – 7, corolla yellow. Notes: — Poljakov (1954) described A. karatavica as a separate species, a taxonomic view recognized by many scholars (Filatova 1966, 1984, 1986, 1993, Ling 1991, Wei 1999, Ling et al. 2011). However, in the Flora of the USSR, Poljakov (1961 a) treated this species as a variety of A. tenuisecta Nevski (1937: 284). Similarly, Nikitina (1965) accepted A. karatavica as a synonym of A. tenuisecta in the Flora of Kyrgyzstan. When examining their specimens (especially types) of A. karatavica and A. tenuisecta, significant difference was observed in the lower leaves (former: 2 - pinnatisect leaves with apical lobules 4 – 6 mm long vs. latter: 3 - pinnatisect leaves with apical lobules 2 – 3.5 mm long), branch length (former: 5 – 10 cm vs. latter: 2 – 3 cm) and capitula (former: crowded vs. latter: slightly sparse). Therefore, we support A. karatavica as a separate species. In China, A. karatavica was first recorded in northwestern Xinjiang by Ling (1988). It was later included in the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991 b), Flora Xinjiangensis (Wei 1999), and Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011). However, no definitive specimens of this species from China were examined in this study. Additionally, a literature review on A. karatavica from countries bordering Xinjiang (Poljakov 1954, 1961 a, Nikitina 1965, Filatova 1966, 1984, 1986, 1993) revealed no records of its distribution in China. Consequently, we have excluded this species from the flora of China in this study.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Middle stem leaves 1 – 2 - pinnatisect, 1 – 2 cm long, 0.5 – 1 cm wide, nearly sessile, with linear pseudostipules. Upper stem leaves undivided, 1 – 1.5 cm long, 0.5 – 1 mm wide, with linear lobules. The grayish-white tomentum on the stems and branches almost completely sheds at maturity, while the tomentum on all leaves persists and the leaves have a slightly soft texture. Capitula ovoid, 3 – 4 mm long, 2 – 3 mm in diameter. Synflorescence a narrow or slightly spreading panicle. Bisexual florets 4 – 5, corolla yellow or red. Notes: — In China, A. korovinii was first recorded in southwestern Xinjiang by Ling (1988). It was later included in the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991 b), Flora Xinjiangensis (Wei 1999), and Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011). However, no definitive specimens of this species from China were examined in this study. A literature review on A. korovinii from countries bordering Xinjiang (Poljakov 1961 a, 1961 b, Nikitina 1965, Filatova 1984, 1993, Podlech 1986) revealed no records of its distribution in China. Consequently, we have excluded this species from the flora of China in this study. This species is easily distinguished from other species in A. subg. Seriphidium by its red lower stems, 2 - pinnatisect and slightly soft lower leaves, 2 – 10 cm long branches that grow obliquely upward along the stem, and red florets.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Capitula ovoid, 2 – 3 mm long, 1 – 2.5 mm in diameter. Synflorescence a spreading panicle. Bisexual florets 4 – 5, with yellow corollas. Notes: — Filatova (1984) first recorded the distribution of A. leucodes in Xinjiang, China, without citing any voucher specimens. We have traced specimens of A. leucodes at LE, MW, and P, labeled as collected from China. When examining these specimens, it was found that these specimens were collected by Alexander Gustav von Schrenk from “ Songaria ”. According to A. G. Schrenk’s expedition records (Kaavere 1990), these specimens were collected near Lake Balkhash (Kazakhstan), not from China. Additionally, no specimens of A. leucodes from China were examined in the current study. Therefore, we excluded this species from the flora of China in this study. This species is easily distinguished from other species in A. subg. Seriphidium by its annual or biennial herbaceous life form, lower leaves palmately trilobed or pinnatifid with petioles 3 – 7 cm long, middle stem leaves palmately trilobed, and leaves soft and densely covered with grayish-white tomentose.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Synflorescence a narrow panicle. Bisexual florets 3 – 6, with red corollas. Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia schischkinii, Krascheninnikov (1949 a) designated the gathering A. Kalinina s. n. as the type, without specifying herbarium. We have traced two sheets of this gathering at LE. Both sheets have the information given in the protologue and match perfectly the original description. According to Arts. 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), sheet LE 01081788 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other sheet (excluding the plant in the upper right part of the sheet) as the isolectotype. Filatova (2007) first recorded that the distribution of A. schischkinii in Xinjiang, China, and cited the gathering at LE: A. A. Yunatov et al. 288. We have traced one sheet (LE 01297191) of this gathering, and identified it as A. gracilescens rather than A. schischkinii. Although this species is similar to A. gracilescens in habit and leaf size but can be distinguished by its stems 5 – 10 cm (vs. 15 – 30 cm) tall, upper branches 0.5 – 2 cm (vs. 3 – 10 cm) long, and leaves sparsely tomentose (vs. densely tomentose). Consequently, we have excluded A. schischkinii from the flora of China in this study.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia subchrysolepis, Filatova (1981) designated the gathering E. Cherniakowska 717 at LE as the type. We have traced three sheets of this gathering at LE. All of them have the information given in the protologue and match perfectly the original description. According to Arts. 9.12 and 9.17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), sheet LE 00052880 has been designated as the lectotype, and the other two sheets as isolectotypes. Filatova (1981) first recorded that the distribution of A. subchrysolepis in Xinjiang, China, without citing any specimens. Filatova (2007) later cited twenty-four gatherings from Xinjiang at LE. We have traced sixty-nine sheets from these gatherings, and identified them as A. borotalensis, A. gracilescens, A. qingheensis and A. terrae-albae, not A. subchrysolepis. Therefore, we have excluded this species from the flora of China in this study. This species is easily distinguished from other species in A. subg. Seriphidium by its stems 5 – 15 cm tall, upper branches 1 – 3 cm long and tightly appressed to the stem, and capitula densely arranged along the branches.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.

Notes: — In the protologue of Artemisia maritima var. thomsoniana, Clarke (1876) cited two gathering: Griffith 3198 collected from Afghanistan and stored at K and Stoliczka s. n. collected from Tibet. We have traced one sheet of this gathering Griffith 3198 at K. The sheet has the information given in the protologue and match perfectly the original description. According to Arts. 9.3, 9.11 and 9.12 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), sheet K 001325413 has been designated as the lectotype. In China, Ling (1980) first recorded the distribution of A. thomsoniana in western Xizang based on earlier literature, including Clarke (1876). This species was later included in Flora Xizang (Ling 1985), Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (Ling 1991) and Flora of China (Ling et al. 2011). However, according to Stoliczka’s exploration records (Ball 1886), the gathering Stoliczka s. n., cited by Clarke (1876), was collected not from Tibet, China, but from Ladakh, India. Due to insufficient textual research, Ling (1980) mistakenly believed that this species was distributed in Xizang. Moreover, no specimens of A. thomsoniana from China were examined in the current study. Therefore, we excluded this species from the flora of China. Artemisia thomsoniana is currently known only from its type specimen. After examining the type, it was found that this species is similar to A. lehmanniana and A. leucotricha Krascheninnikov & Ladygina (1965: 246) in habit, stem height, leaf size, branch length and position, and inflorescence type, with overlapping distributions. However, due to the lack of more detailed information, the taxonomic status of this species requires further investigation.	en	Jin, Guang-Zhao, Sheludyakova, Mariya, Abduraimov, Ozodbek, Feng, Ying, Ge, Xue-Jun (2025): A Taxonomic Revision of Artemisia Subgenus Seriphidium (Asteraceae-Anthemideae) in China.
