[Direct identification of Artemisia argyi, Artemisia dubia and Artemisia lavandulaefolia by FTIR].
OBJECTIVE: To directly and accurately identify Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant., Artemisia dubia Wall. and Artemisia lavandulaefolia DC. METHODS: Fourier tansform infrared (FTIR) spectrum method was used. RESULT: There were obvious differences among the FTIR spectrums of above-mentioned plants. CONCLUSION: Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant., Artemisia dubia Wall. and Artemisia lavandulaefolia DC. were directly, fast and accurately identified by FTIR.
