Erect-bur-marigold
Bidens tripartita
Bidens tripartita is a plant traditionally unrecorded for specific medicinal uses. Scientific studies have shown that Bidens tripartita has demonstrated significant antiangiogenic and anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting potential applications in disorders related to angiogenesis, inflammation, and free radicals. While no direct findings were reported for Bidens tripartita's anthelmintic activity or selenium concentrations, it showed promise as a bio-chelator in enhancing cadmium phytoextraction by Solanum nigrum. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant, but further research is needed to fully understand its potential medicinal applications and broader implications.

What the science says
- Bidens frondosa had significantly higher selenium concentrations and bioaccumulation abilities compared to Bidens tripartita in both Poland and Montenegro.
- Bidens tripartita showed no significant anthelmintic activity in this study evaluating traditional medicinal plants against parasitic nematode larvae.
- Bidens tripartita herb extract showed significant antiangiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects, though Galium verum herb was also effective in these areas.
- The co-application of ammonium sulfate and Bidens tripartita bio-chelator enhanced cadmium phytoextraction by Solanum nigrum, reducing soil cadmium levels.
