A marigold, not a tarragon
The name is borrowed. French tarragon is Artemisia dracunculus; Tagetes lucida belongs to the marigold genus Tagetes. Both sit in the daisy family, but in different genera. The name goes back to Cavanilles (1795) and is accepted in the Kew checklist (WCVP). Its native range covers Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
How the herb looks
The photos show thin, straight pieces of stem and leaf in olive green and brown, cut to a few centimetres. Shredded material is coarser than a fine cut and varies in length. The same species is also listed as a liquid extract: the Tagetes lucida tincture 1:10 from Mexico.
