SPECIES: Artemisia nova | Black Sagebrush
ABBREVIATION : ARTNOV SYNONYMS : Artemisia tridentata ssp. nova Artemisia tridentata var. nova Artemisia arbuscula ssp. nova SCS PLANT CODE : NO-ENTRY COMMON NAMES : black sagebrush little black sagebrush small sagebrush TAXONOMY : The fully documented scientific name of black sagebrush is Artemisia nova A. Nelson. The taxonomy presented here follows that of Beetle [5], who recognized black sagebrush as a separate species. Other authorities have placed both black sagebrush and low sagebrush (A. arbuscula) as variants of big sagebrush (A. tridentata). The ability of both of these species to hybridize with big sagebrush accounts for such placement. Ward [57] designated black sagebrush as a subspecies of low sagebrush. Black sagebrush occurs in diploid and polyploid forms. Hybrids with basin big sagebrush (A. tridentata ssp. tridentata) are relatively common where these two species occur together. Crosses with bigelow sagebrush (A. bigelovii) and mountain big sagebrush (A. tridentata ssp. vaseyana) have been documented but are rare [40]. Although no black sagebrush subspecies are currently recognized, there are two color forms which may occur in either pure or mixed stands. The darker form has dark-green, glossy leaves, while the lighter, gray-green form may be as light in color as low sagebrush or big sagebrush.
