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,[7] and is considered interchangeable with Artemisia capillaris for that purpose. Its pollen can be allergenic.[8]
