Bidens beckii, commonly called Beck's water-marigold or simply water marigold[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Canada and the northern United States.[4][5][6]
Bidens beckii is a perennial herb sometimes as much as to 200cm (80 inches) tall;[7] it grows emerging from stagnant or slow-moving water, the submerged leaves are finely filiform-dissected. The stem typically arises 15cm above the water and its leaves are simple, oppositely arranged, lanceolate to ovate and serrated and borne directly from the stem with no petiole.[8][9] It produces numerous yellow flower heads containing (10-30) disc florets and (8) ray florets in late summer. The flowers are solitary at the end of the stem and 2–2.5cm in diameter. Below the flower there are 5-8 hairless bracts which are about half as long as the petals.[8]
