|discussion=<p>One of the more easily distinguished of the shrubby <i>Artemisia</i> species, <i>A. filifolia</i> occurs in sandy soils and cohabits with species of <i>Yucca</i>, <i>Cactaceae</i>, and Salvia dorrii, the purple sage of western literary fame. Its filiform leaves and faintly aromatic foliage distinguish it from members of subg. Tridentatae.</p>
