ABSTRACT

Synonyms: Baccharis bracteata Hook.; B. gaudichaudiana DC.; Conyza articulata Lam.; Molina articulata (Lam.) Less); de (HH2 MPG).

Notes: Not wanting to use the scientic name as a common name, nor to use the very generic common name “carqueja,” I coined the name “Brazilian absinth” when I read that this species replaces wormwood in Brazilian veterinary medicine, especially in treating diarrhea in cattle (MPB).
