Garg ji It is B biternata. The species is distinct from B. pilosa in much smaller number of florets, linear involucre bracts which are ciliate (nearly spathulate and glabrous in B. pilosa)

I think it's Bidens biternata as per FOI link & indiantreepix thread: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Spanish%20Needles.html (Closely related to B. pilosa, but can be distinguished by the leaves, which are usually 5-7 foliolate, with the lowermost pair redivided into two to three segments) http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/8723b9d77f01c743/11de904bce2fc8c2?lnk=gst&q=Id210809phk+1#11de904bce2fc8c2 2009/11/4 Vijayasankar Raman <[email protected]> Dear Garg ji, This is Bidens pilosa (Asteraceae). Pl. also check it for B. biternata. -- With regards R.
