  • Question

    We saw this plant yesterday on the Powwow River in South Hampton, NH. I do not see it recoded in our county. I thought I should record the sighting here.

    Answer

    Dear evyn, you have photographed Bidens beckii (Beck's beggar-ticks). This is an aquatic species of beggar-ticks that has divided submersed leaves that look very different from most members of the genus (which are terrestrial and wetland species primarily). Beautiful image.
