Artemisia L. genus of the Asteraceae Barcht.et J. Presil family occupies a special place among the naturally distributed folk and agriculturally important plants in the flora of Azerbaijan. The modern geographic distribution and kinship of Azerbaijan's wormwood species belong to East Asian genetic elements. According to the composition of the flora of Azerbaijan's desert and semi-desert wormwoods, it was determined that there are 565 types of higher flowering plants, which, taking into account that there are about 4500 flowering plants in the flora, is about 1/8 of all flowering plants of Azerbaijan, i.e. 14.1. There are 119 genera of flowering plants in our flora, where wormwood is represented by 58 genera, which makes up 48.7% of the flowering plant genera in Azerbaijan. The total number of Azerbaijani endemics in wormwoods has reached 10, which is 3.1% of Azerbaijan's endemic species (260 species) and 1.2% of the entire flora of wormwoods. Azerbaijan's endemic species are concentrated in 7 out of 57 intervals represented in this flora. Thus, it was confirmed that 38 species and 4 variations (42 taxa) of the genus Artemisia L. are distributed in the natural flora of Azerbaijan, their new areas were specified, 4 new wormwood species, 7 variations were shown for the first time, and the endemicity of 10 species was found.
