Description
Summary:Artemisia capillaris Thunb. is a herb from the family Asteraceae which had a wide range of morphological and genetic variability. The different among individuals within and between populations of the species is complex and difficult to identify. In Malaysia, the data and information on the biology of A. capillaris particularly concerning with the variability is still lacking. Hence, an assessment on the morphological and genetic variations of A. capillaris from Malaysia has been conducted in order to identify the most variable characters and to assess the genetic relationship among the populations of the species.
