Artemisia pontica
 Artemesia pontica (Roman wormwood or small absinthe) is an herb used in the production of absinthe and vermouth. Originating in southeastern Europe (the specific name refers to the Pontus area on the shores of the Black Sea) it is naturalized over much of Europe and is also found in the wild in northeastern North America. It is called little absinthe because it is smaller in stature and leaf than the great absinthe A. absinthium.
