1 Artemisia dracunculus Pursh, is synonymous with A. dracunculoides Pursh. The specific name of dracunculus is being retained here because of past reference to the species, but it is hoped that this note will eliminate any possibility of confusing the American species with that of the European species named dracunculus by Linnaeus.
