And considering that the western half of the United States is covered with "wormwood", we probably don't need to panic; where I come it's called sagebrush.

Chernobyl (sp?) means wormwood.

"The city name comes from a combination of chornyi (чoрний, black) and byllia (билля, grass blades or stalks); hence it literally means black grass or black stalks." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl
