A new species of Artemisia (Asteraceae: Antemideae) from Xizang, China, A. baxoiensis, is described, illustrated, and discussed based on morphological, micromorphological, and molecular phylogenetic evidence. It grows in the Nu Jiang dry-hot valley and is narrowly distributed. This plant is similar to Neopallasia pectinata, but different in capitula and indumentum. Artemisia baxoiensis has a distinctive morphology with a pectinately pinnatisect leaf blade and unusually dense glandular hairs.
