Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

(huang hua hao) but it is also the Chinese name for the plant, Artemisia carvidolia which is a different species from Artemisia annua L... This image shows a dried portion of Artemisia annua L. that could be distinguished from other plants based on its unique characteristics. This plant grows in wastelands. It is under the category of whole herbs and is produced in all Chinese provinces. The plant was first identified by Li Shizhen in the Compendium of Materia Medica. This specific plant was later popularized by Tu Youyou who used it as a key element in her research for curing malaria. The scientific name of the plant is Artemisia annua L. which belongs to the plant family of Asteraceae. Hong Kong Baptist University provides a broad but colored picture of sweet wormwood. The picture distinguishes the stem surface from the numerous small flower heads. The stem is cylindrical (30~80cm long, 0.2~0.6cm diameter) and has longitudinal ridges which are shown in the upper portion of the image. They typically have a yellowish-green or brownish-yellow color. The leaves are usually dark green or brownish-green. Characteristics of the superior medicinal material contain green color, multiple leaves, and a strong smell. Some functions of the plant include, clearing deficiency heat, cooling blood, eliminating steam and interrupting malaria.
