No not artemesia

Plocket, are you sure it's not Artemesia??? I've just Wikkied Absinthe and it says "Wormwood" ( Artemesia something-I've-forgotten-now)

Surely Barbara should have that one?

No it's not artemesia although both artemesia and mine were named for particular women and both are herbs. If it helps the "helen" bit isn't the first part of the latin name.

You've just got part of the Latin name!!! And it's not always an ingredient for absinthe - it CAN be used in absinthe.
