Description

Bidens bidentoides is an annual herb that typically grows between 10 and 90 cm (0.33 and 2.95 ft) tall. The opposite, lanceolate, variably toothed leaves are 4–16 cm long and 0.3–3 cm wide. Each flower usually has no ray florets, but there can be up to five. There are between 6 and 30 yellowish disk florets. [7]

It typically blooms in September, but can sometimes bloom in August or October. [4] [7]

Distribution and habitat

Bidens bidentoides is native to Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. [6] [8] The plant grows on the borders of streams and estuaries at an elevation of 0–10 metres from sea level. [7]

Conservation

As of November 2024, NatureServe listed Bidens bidentoides as Vulnerable (G3) worldwide. It is threatened by dredging, filling, pollution, housing development and possibly threatened by invasive species such as the purple loosestrife. [2]

In individual states within the United States, it is listed as Critically Imperiled (S1) in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Possibly Extirpated (SH) in Delaware, and Vulnerable (S3) in New York and Maryland. [2]

Taxonomy

Bidens bidentoides was first named and described as Diodonta bidentoides in 1841 by Thomas Nuttall in the Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc., n.s publication. [9] [10] It was moved to the genus Bidens, with the species epithet kept the same, by Nathaniel Lord Britton in 1893 in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club. [11]
