Disambiguation

There are two kinds of garland chrysanthemum: one with a broader rounder leaf, and one with narrower, spikier leaves.

To differentiate between the two, people in Hong Kong call them 茼蒿 and 皇帝菜 respectively. People in Taiwan call them 大葉茼蒿 (literally big leaf garland chrysanthemum) and 山茼蒿 respectively.
