en فارماکوگنوزی Pharmacognosy مروری Review article The genus <em>Artemisia </em>belongs to family Asteraceae and commonly used for ailments of multiple lethal diseases. Twenty-nine species of the genus have been identified from Pakistan which are widely used as pharmaceutical, agricultural, cosmetics, sanitary, perfumes and food industries. In this review we studied the medicinal uses, taxonomy, essential oils as well as phytochemistry were compiled. Data was collected from the original research articles, texts books and review papers including globally accepted search engines i.e. PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Google Scholar and Web of Science. Species found of <em>Artemisia</em> in Pakistan with their medicinal properties and phytochemicals were recorded. The present review highlights the geographical distribution, morphological features and medicinal importance of different <em>Artemisia</em> species.&nbsp; Species of the genus are used in different traditional treatments by the local communities of Pakistan and worldwide. The essential oils and some other important derivatives such as artemisinin are commonly used to cure malaria, cancer, stomach, kidney, liver, and spleen other bacterial, fungal, helminthic diseases and much more. These species also possess some important extract such as lignans, polyphenols and flavonoids that help in activation of certain pathways. Majority of work on the taxonomic validation of the species are showing confusion in its morphology, for the correct identification of the species in the present review special focus has been made on its morphological characteristics, along with their traditional uses, pharmacology and phytochemical constituents. This review will provide baseline information for further research on the genus and as well as at species level on different aspects. The aim of this study is to provide comprehensive overview of Genus <em>Artemisia</em> specifically the species of the genus from Pakistan<em>.</em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Artemisia, artemisinin, essentials oil, pharmacological uses 1 12 http://pbr.mazums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-499-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Sobia Zeb sobiazebmdn@gmail.com 10031947532846003663 10031947532846003663 Yes Department of Biotechnology, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan Ashaq Ali microbiologist_hu@hotmail.com 10031947532846003664 10031947532846003664 No University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China Wajid Zaman shangla123@gmail.com 10031947532846003665 10031947532846003665 No Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan Sidra Zeb sidrazeb50@gmail.com 10031947532846003666 10031947532846003666 No Department of Microbiology, Abdulwali Khan University Mardan, Pakistan Shabana Ali shabana_aali@yahoo.com 10031947532846003667 10031947532846003667 No National institute of Genomics and Advance biotechnology, National Agriculture Research Centre Fazal Ullah fazalbotanist@gmail.com 10031947532846003668 10031947532846003668 No Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan Abdul Shakoor abdul_shakoor954@yahoo.com 10031947532846003669 10031947532846003669 No University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China
