Type:— CHINA. Zhejiang: Hangzhou, Shangtianzhu , 31 October 1934, H. Migo s.n. (holotype, NAS004808454 !) .

Description:—Herbs, perennial, 80–150 cm tall, pubescent or glabrous. Lower and middle stem leaves thickly or thinly papery, simple; petiole 2–5 mm long; leaf blade ovate, ovate-lanceolate, elliptic-lanceolate or lanceolate, 3.5–15 cm long, 2–4 cm broad, apex acuminate, margin serrate, adaxially sparsely pubescent or glabrous, abaxially tomentose to sparsely pubescent, rarely glabrescent. Uppermost leaves and leaflike bracts sessile, elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate. Synflorescence a broad or narrow panicle, rarely a broad conical compound panicle. Capitula ovoid-campanulate, oblong or obovoid, sessile, usually sparsely arranged, 4–5 mm long, 2–3 mm in diameter. Receptacle glabrous, 2 mm in diameter. Phyllaries glabrous, oblong or obovoid, usually whitish when fresh. Marginal female florets 4–6, fertile, 5–7 mm long, corolla tubular, apex 2- or 3-toothed, style exerted. Disk florets 6–8, bisexual, fertile, 5–7 mm long, corolla tubular, apex 5-toothed. Achenes obovoid or obvoid-oblong.

Distribution and habitat:— Artemisia anomala is widely distributed in China, including Anhui, Chongqing, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Taiwan, and Zhejiang ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ). It grows at forest margins, by roadsides or riverbanks, and in shrublands or canyons at elevations of 200–1200 m.

Phenology:—Flowering from June to September; fruiting from September to October.

Lectotypification:— Artemisia anomala was described on the basis of three collections, namely G. Shearer s.n., O. von Möllendorff s.n. and T. Sampson s.n. We have been able to trace four specimens of these collections at K ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ; except K000891838 in Figure 1B View FIGURE 1 ). All these specimens match well the protologue and are syntypes as Moore (1875) did not designate a type for A. anomala . According to ICN Art. 9.11 ( Turland et al. 2018), here we designate T. Sampson s.n. (K000891834; Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ), which is well preserved and bears the annotation “ Artemisia anomala sp. n. ” in Moore’s hand, as lectotype.

Notes:—In the protologue of Artemisia anomala var. tomentella, Handel-Mazzetti (1937) designated R.C. Ching 3800 as the type. We have been able to trace two sheets of R.C. Ching 3800, one from UPS and the other from W. Both sheets match well the protologue and were annotated “ Artemisia anomala S. Moore var. tomentella H.-M., v. nov.” in Handel-Mazzetti’s hand, and thus are syntypes. However, in a list of the type specimens collected from Zhejiang province, Ding (1993) listed the W sheet as holotype of this variety. According to ICN Art. 9.11 ( Turland et al. 2018), Ding’s use of holotype is an error to be corrected to lectotype (McNeil 2014). Therefore, the W and UPS sheets should be cited as lectotype and isolectotype of A. anomala var. tomentella respectively.

Ling (1988, 1991) and Ling et al. (2011) referred Artemisia anomala to A. sect. Albibractea Ling (1980: 506) , which is characterized by having whitish phyllaries and florets. In this section, A. anomala is most readily distinguishable from other members by having simple (vs. pinnatisect or 3-partite) stem leaves.

Artemisia anomala is somewhat similar to A. viridissima ( Komarov 1907: 673) Pampanini (1930: 484) ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ) in having simple stem leaves, although the latter was placed within A. sect. Artemisia by Ling (1988, 1991) and Ling et al. (2011). Artemisia anomala differs from A. viridissima by having marginally serrate (vs. serrulate) leaves and whitish (vs. green) phyllaries. Geographically, these two species are rather disjunctive, with A. viridissima occurring in northeastern China (Jilin) as well as in Korea ( Ling et al. 2011), whereas A. anomala is much more southerly distributed in China, including Anhui, Chongqing, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Taiwan, and Zhejiang ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ).
