'''''Artemisia michauxiana''''' is a species of [[Artemisia (plant)|wormwood]] known by the common names '''Michaux's wormwood''' and '''lemon sagewort'''. It is native to western North America from [[Yukon]] to [[California]] to [[Colorado]], where it grows in mountain [[Scree|talus]] habitats in [[subalpine]] to [[alpine climate]]s. This is a [[rhizome|rhizomatous]] perennial herb with green, lemon-scented foliage. The plant grows up to a meter tall with several erect branches. The leaves are divided into many narrow segments which are hairless or lightly hairy and bear yellowish resin glands. The [[inflorescence]] is a spike up to 15 centimeters long full of clusters of small [[Head (botany)|flower heads]]. Each head is lined with rough purplish green, glandular [[bract|phyllaries]] and generally contains pale pistillate and disc florets. The fruit is a tiny hairless [[achene]].
