Artemisia annua L. is the main source of artemisinin, an anti-malarial drug, originating from subtropical regions. In Indonesia, it is generally planted in the highlands, which become a limiting factor to expand the range of A. annua cultivation . The study aims at finding the strains/clusters of A. annua that are able to grow well in tropical lowlands as well as produce high biomass and artemisinin content. To achieve this objective, the A. annua plants were planted on land with a height of 38 m above sea level, up to five generations. Sixty (60) plants were selected randomly and observed its morphological characteristics and content of artemisinin in the leaves. Four qualitative morphological characters (Circumscriptio and the color of leaves; stems colors and the branching syste; length of branchtea; inflorescentia) and quantitative morphological characters (plant height, the number of primary branching system; length of brachtea; inflorescentia) and quantitative morphological characters (plant height, the number of primary branches; the biomass dry weights; Artemisinin content of leaves) were identified in this studies. The artemisinin content was determined using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The result showed that A. annua can grow well and can be grouped into 10 clusters based on morphological character defferences, with artemisinin level, ranging from 0.286% - 1.330%. the strains that have the highest artemisinin content of 1.330% are strains from cluster 4 (four) which morphological characters of large stem with green and purple streak color, long internodes, small leaves and few branching. While those wwith high biomass and aremisinin content are the strain from clusters 2 and 8 with biomass dry weight of 389.9 g and 446.3 g; and artemisinin content of 0.914% and 0.863% respectively.
