Artemisia tilesii
Also called Aleutian Mugwort, Tilesius Wormwood, Mountain Sagewort, Aleutian Tilesius Wormwood
Artemisia tilesii is an Asian and North American species of flowering plant in the aster family. Its common names include Tilesius' wormwood, Aleutian mugwort, and stinkweed. It is native to Russia, Japan, and northern North America (from Alaska, east as far as Nunavut and south to Nevada).
The cultivar 'Caiggluk' was developed in Alaska for use in revegetation and erosion control. It tolerates a range of soil pH and can grow on waste land made toxic by mining operations. It is easy to grow and attractive. Caiggluk is the Yupik name for the wild plant. Sargiġruaq or Salgiġruaq is the Iñupiaq name for the plant.
