dissected woolly or nearly hairless leaves, and its tiny purplish
flower-heads 3-4 mm across. The flowers are borne in spikes occurring
on branches and at their ends. Leaves are twice cut with linear pointed
segments usually more than 2 mm broad. Pale-Yellow Wormwood is found on
the open slopes of the Himalayas, from Pakistan to C. Nepal, at
altitudes of 1000-4300 m. Flowering: June-September.
