WORMWOOD - W>@ - Four kinds of wormwood are found in Palestine
Artemisia nilotica , A. Judaica , A. fructicosa and A. cinerea . The word occurs frequently in the Bible, and generally in a metaphorical sense. In kjv@Jeremiah:9:15 kjv@Jeremiah:23:15; kjv@Lamentations:3:15 kjv@Lamentations:3:19) wormwood is symbolical of bitter calamity and sorrow; unrighteous judges are said to "turn judgment to wormwood." kjv@Amos:5:7) The Orientals typified sorrows, cruelties and calamities of any kind by plants of a poisonous or bitter nature.

Wormwood @ Heb. la'anah, the Artemisia absinthium of botanists. It is noted for its intense bitterness kjv@Deuteronomy:29:18; kjv@Proverbs:5:4; kjv@Jeremiah:9:15; kjv@Amos:5:7). It is a type of bitterness, affliction, remorse, punitive suffering. In kjv@Amos:6:12 this Hebrew word is rendered "hemlock" (R.V., "wormwood"). In the symbolical language of the Apocalypse kjv@Revelation:8:10-11) a star is represented as falling on the waters of the earth, causing the third part of the water to turn wormwood. The name by which the Greeks designated it, absinthion, means "undrinkable." The absinthe of France is distilled from a species of this plant. The "southernwood" or "old man," cultivated in cottage gardens on account of its fragrance, is another species of it.
