Abstract

When worked out the treatment of Artemisia for Flora Iranica, in several cases no good, determinable material was available, especially from outside of Afghanistan, namely, Iran and the neighbouring Middle Asian regions. This was especially a problem for species of the homogamous group Serephidium. During the work on very rich new material of this group from Iran, collected by V. Mozaffarian (Tehran) and the investigation of material from the neighbouring Middle Asia several errors in the Flora Iranica treatment could be corrected and some species more clearly defined. In this paper some species of Artemisia in Afghanistan, which were treated wrongly in former time, are clarified.
