Beggar-ticks

Bidens frondosa

Bidens frondosa is a plant traditionally unrecorded in specific medicinal practices. However, it has been observed that Bidens pilosa var. radiata attracts more pollinators due to higher levels of certain volatile compounds compared to B. frondosa. Scientific evidence indicates that under future climate conditions, the suitable habitat ranges for Bidens species generally expanded, and phylogenomic studies showed a close relationship between B. frondosa and Coreopsis lanceolata. In ecological contexts, priority effects favored the invasive B. frondosa over the native B. biternata, with nitrogen addition having a more significant inhibitory effect on its growth. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for Bidens frondosa.

  • The study found that Bidens pilosa var. radiata attracts more pollinators, including A. cerana, than the more self-compatible B. frondosa, with higher levels of (E)- and (Z)-β-Ocimene in its floral volatiles. D PMID
