Artemisia indica, the Indian wormwood, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the Indian Subcontinent (except Bangladesh), mainland Southeast Asia, China (except Xinjiang and Qinghai), Taiwan, the Philippines, Korea, the Ryukyu Islands, and Japan, and it has been introduced to Peninsular Malaysia. In the wild it is typically found alongside roads, on slopes, in forest edges, and in scrublands at elevations below 2,000 m (6,600 ft).
