Artemisia lanaticapitula (Asteraceae: Anthemideae), a new species from Zhejiang in East China, is described and illustrated, based on the analyses of morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic evidence. This new species is similar to Artemisia anomala in having simple and undivided leaves, but differs by having phyllaries, corolla limbs, and abaxial leaf surfaces densely white-lanate, an involucre that is semiglobose, 3.5–6 mm in diameter, and capitulate pedunculate at the base. It grows along streams under forests or on roadsides at forest margins; the species is narrowly distributed in Eastern and Southern Zhejiang.
