Artemisia spinescens is a North American species of sagebrush in the sunflower family, known by the common name budsage. It is native to the western United States from southern and eastern California and the Great Basin, north to Idaho and Montana, and east to western Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. It grows in scrub and other habitat on clay and gravel-rich soils and is adapted to very dry climates. It is a squat shrub forming a rounded bush up to 30 to 50 centimeters in maximum height with tangled branches that are woolly when new and thorny and rough when aged. The strongly aromatic foliage is made up of many small, fuzzy leaves divided into narrow, pointed segments. It is deciduous, dropping its leaves during the dry summer when it becomes dormant. The inflorescence is a raceme of small clusters of flower heads sprouting from leaf axils. The fruit is a tiny hairy achene less than a millimeter long. It is considered good forage for wild and domestic grazing animals early in the season when the foliage is new and soft.
