The morphological characters and scientific names of Korean Artemisia sect. Absinthium were reviewed based on the type specimen, the original description, observation of the living materials and voucher specimens. The form of the habitat, the structure of underground, the leaf shape and capitulum features were valuable characters in identifying the taxa. The sect. Absinthium in Korea was classified as three taxa of A. sieversiana, A. lagocephala, A. fauriei. The illustration and description of each taxa were provided. Particularly, A. fauriei in this section with hair on receptacle and A. fukudo in sect. Abrotanum without hair on receptacle grow in mixed groups on the West shore of Korea. Two species with populations which grow in mixed groups, was observed as being putative hybrid individuals based on morphological characters.

During the course of the field trip to Mt. Baekdu and Manchurian region especially along the border of North Korea, young flower buds were collected and fixed to analyze the meiotic configuration of chromosomes and to discuss the cytotaxonomic characteristics of these areas. A total of 29 taxa with 31 populations of vascular plants were analyzed chromosomally. Among them, 26 taxa with 28 populations were collected from Mt. Baekdu which include Papaver radicata var. pseudoradicata, Bupleurum euphorbioides, Oplopanax elatus, Silene jenisseensis, and Gentiana jamesii and three taxa collected from Manchurian region which include Scrophularia buergeriana, Ostericum grosseserratum and Callistephus chinensis. The first report of chromosome numbers were provided here for those species of Artemisia lagocephala as 2n = 9II, Cacalia komaroviana as 2n = 30II, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. alpinum as 2n = 27II and Rodiola rosea as 2n = 11II,
