Diversity and characteristics of the genus Artemisia L. growing in Jetisu region

Abstract

The article presents information on the species composition and distribution of the genus Artemisia L. in the Jetisu region based on an analysis of literature sources and herbarium materials. A total of 81 Artemisia species are recorded across Kazakhstan, occurring in deserts, steppe zones, and mountainous regions, with more than 35 species identified in the Jetisu region. An extensive review of the species found in the Jetisu region and the Jetisu Alatau was conducted, and the herbarium data of the wormwood species found in the study area (AA, AFKNU, MW funds) were accurately presented. In addition, using herbarium samples and literary data, the GPS coordinates of the wormwood found in the Jetisu were determined. The conducted study allowed to clarify and supplement information on the distribution area of the genus Artemisia L.
