Bidens bipinnata L., Sp. Pl. 832. 1753
Common name: Spanish needles This species is quite distinct from related species B. biternata in shorter spreading habit usually less than 80 cm tall, bipinnatisect leaves, with much smaller segments, margin entire; heads with 1-5 yellow ray florets;
cypselae 10-14 mm long withj 2-4 mm long barbate 2-4 awns. Photographed from near Kalsi on Mussoorie Chakrata road on September 16, 2011, and near Dakpathar Yes …, I was looking for this plant for a long time. It is one thing to read keys and descriptions in books, and another to see the plant yourself. Now I know I wont confuse between B. bipinnata and B. biternata.

Thanks sir for showing this, I will try and find out this in my archives, this is a common plant, should have been shot by me.. Yes It was very common in Chakrata area.
I see this wild fern whose shape from top reminds me of a snowflake. Today, I noticed a plant with yellow flowers and thought it might help in identification. I am attaching two photographs, one of them a detail of the flower. I seek your expert advise.

Small herb, height 12-15inches At kanakeshwar, Alibag it can be Either Bidens biternata or Bidens bipinnata-Asteraceae
look like Bidens pilosa
The leaves are of B. biternata (Lour.) Merr. & Sherff. Bidens pilosa Linn. is not supposed to be growing in India.
Certainly it is Bidens biternata. It is Annual herb leaves usually 5-foliated.
I am sending recent photo (30.8.2009) from smiriti van, jaipur. 1 image.
I think it is Bidens bipinnata L. as per keys and details herein.
Asteraceae plant from Thoseghar, Satara, Maharashtra: 2 correct images.
please give some clue to trace the identity of this plant.
Locality: On way to Thoseghar, after Sajjangad diversion, Satara, Maharashtra Habit: Herbs, up to 2 feet high Stem: Quandrangular, hairy, green Leaves: Pinnatisect, hairy appressed. Flowers: Bright Yellow coloured, 2 cm across May be Bidens…perhaps clear pics can help.. Seems to be Bidens biternata (Lour.) Merr. & Sheriff. First two images appears to be of Bidens bipinnata L. as per keys and details herein.
