Additional photos of an unidentified Artemisia as seen along Forest Service Road #1647 in southeastern Logan Valley, Malheur National Forest..............August 4, 2011.The upper stem leaves seem to be unlobed while those at mid-stem are deeply cleft or lobed. Possibly this is a deeply lobed individual of Artemisia cana, which is present at this site in its regular, unlobed leaf form?
