I just submitted some photos, but there was no selection for
Artemisia vulgaris L. The weed in the bed looks does not look like the Artemisia vulgaris already listed. Thanks.

Here is our database entry for the plant:

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)

Yes, I looked at that and I don't doubt it is correct here is the reply I got form the county agent.

I believe this is mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.). It can be controlled with a herbicide for broad leaf weeds. For pre-emergent control he should spray in the spring (now) and late fall (Sept-October).

I'll leave that up to the people in the Plant ID thread.

It appears there are still questions on the ID of this plant, I have requested a second look by the county agent, I'll keep you posted.

I might be misunderstanding the question here, but Artemisia vulgaris and Artemisia vulgaris L. are the same thing. The "L." is just the standard abbreviation for Carl Linnaeus, who was the person who originally described and gave a scientific name to this plant.

The problem seems to be that some don't think the county agent was correct in naming the plant. I have e-mailed back and asked for a second opinion. My pictures did not look like what was in the data base.

It's not too surprising that your plants don't match the pictures in the database. Plants in this family (Asteraceae) commonly produce very different looking leaves at different stages of growth. Most of the pictures currently in the database appear to have been taken during flowering in the summer or fall.

That's another thing, I have never seen this plant flower, summer or fall. Would it be a noticeable one?

Not really. Most of the pictures in the database show the plant in flower.

This is a good picture of the flowers:

No, my little plants look nothing like those in the data base.

The extension agent had a plant specialist from Auburn University look at the photos and they also identified it as a variety of Mugwort. I was told for any further Id I would have to take the plant to the extension office. That will have to wait for now.

I'd put Kent up against any extension agent. In this case, since the agent agrees with Kent, then the agent is probably right.
