Bidens tenuisecta (slimlobe beggarticks)[2] is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family. It is native to northern Mexico (Chihuahua)[3] and the western United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah, with a few isolated populations in Texas and Idaho). There are also reports of populations in the northeastern United States (Massachusetts, New York, Maryland) but these are almost assuredly introductions.[4][5]
Bidens tenuisecta is an annual herb up to 120 cm (4 feet) tall. It produces up to three yellow flower heads per branch, each had containing both disc florets and ray florets. The Plant grows in meadows and along mountain streams.[4]
