Artemisia rigida is an important successional species following fires because the plants form new shoots from the underground caudices. This characteristic aligns the species with other ‘sprouters’ in the subgenus, namely A. cana , A. tripartita , and A. arbuscula .

Artemisia L. subg. Tridentatae (Rydb.) McArthur (Asteraceae), containing sagebrush species, is a morphologically, geographically and phylogenetically well outlined group restricted exclusively (or mainly?) to North America, which was recently treated taxonomically by Shultz (2006b, 2009).

Leaves alternate, simple, aromatic, often several leaves per node, no petiole (sessile), 1-4 cm long, base long wedge-shaped (cuneate), apex 3-lobed, margin entire, silver-green on both to sides. Flowers small, yellowish, tubular; fruit very small. …

Artemisia arbuscula is one of the more perplexing species in the Tridentatae complex. Anatomic and morphologic characteristics suggest multiple hybrid origins for the subspecies. Deciduous leaves of flowering stems in plants that otherwise have persistent leaves suggest a hybrid origin involving plants of the A. tridentata and A. cana lineages.

A. tridentata differ in their chemistry and morphology, with A. tridentata containing more toxic terpenes than A. rothrockii (C. Hobbs, personal communication, August 2, 2021; Shultz 2012). Both A. rothrockii and A. tridentata demonstrate damage-induced resistance to herbivory and release VOCs to deter herbivory (Karban 2007). While it is

2020年11月6日 · Artemisia tridentata has undergone considerable taxonomic revision in the past century and circumscription of subspecies remains a topic of considerable controversy. Workers in the field should be aware of the morphologic variation within the subspecies across the range of the species (i.e., approximately from the Sierra Nevada in the west to ...

叶子上面覆盖着银色丝状的绒毛，灰绿色，叶片通常楔形，尖端分成三个裂片（因此学名为 tridentata ），叶缘锯齿。花期在夏末或秋初，头状花序圆锥状，通常直立在细长的花序梗上，小黄花长，松散排列呈管状簇，3-8朵。

Low sagebrush can be separated from big sagebrush (A. tridentata) by its narrow spicate inflorescence. It differs from black sage (A. nova) by having sessile capitula, hairy involucres and lobed leaves on the flowering stems (Shultz, 2009). Hotsprings sagebrush is a shorter, dwarf form of low sagebrush ranging from 15 to 23 cm (6-9 in) tall.

I thought it would also be fun to have a collection of all the Mojave plants and flowers to compare them to the in-game equivalents. Here is my collection!
