概要

論文の詳細を見る
Morphological observations were made of flower heads of 17 species of Japanese Artemisia to find their detailed features for discriminating them from "inchinko" (Artemisia capillaris). Involucral bracts of these species have T-shaped or linear hairs, many lateral veins or branched resin canals. Ray flowers of these species have long (>1 mm) corollas or branched styles with truncate, retuse or apiculate tops. Disk flowers of these species have all branched stigma and some species have strongly recurved lobes. The ovaries of some species have oil canals, glandular hairs or nonglandular hairs. The flower heads of these 17 species could be differentiated from "inchinko," even if separated into involucral bracts, ray flowers and disk flowers, according to the characteristic features summarized in TABLE I.
