Sighting: Mullaianagiri- Kemmanagundi, Chikmagalur, about 1500 msl Date: 05-07-2015, 08-09-2015 and 22-10-2015 Appears to be close to Bidens biternata as per images & keys herein. It is Bidens pilosa L. with white ray florets What is the id of this plant? The third picture is only to have a look at the seeds. The leaves in the third picture is that of some other weed. I think this is 'Spanish needles' i.e. Bidens frondosa Thanks to you friends. You know something ..., the leaves are edible. It has a peculiar odour, but it is supposed to be medicinal.

Bidens pilosa ABJUL01/02 : 9 posts by 5 authors. 5 images. Is this Bidens pilosa? Looks a little different from the other B. pilosa plants I have seen. Is it the variation ‘minor’ as in efloraofindia page? Please advise. Above Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, HP June 2016 1800m The ray florets are not very prominent, so it may be Bidens bipinnata L Thank you ... once again. Doesn't B. bipinnata have pinnate fern-like leaves? Leaflet (segment) margin is prominently toothed/serrate, so it should be B. biternata. Also leaves are less divided with large terminal segment. In B. bipinnata leaves are twice to thrice pinnatisect with entire leaflet (segment) margin. Both lack rays or may have up to 5 yellow ones, they are white and prominent in B. pilosa. Thank you very much ... once again. I had thought of B. biternata and then disregarded it because of the number of leaflets; http://eol.org/pages/2895874/overview My sample had three instead of 5-7 suggested by the eol site. Nice case to remember for good pictures and ... differential diagnosis
