Brief description

Bidens frondosa L. is a pioneer plant species of moist grounds; it colonises river banks, mud flats, ditches, ponds and other open alluvial habitats (Branquart et al. 2019).

Status and distribution in Luxembourg

Bidens frondosa L. was first documented in Luxembourg by Léopold Reichling and Marcel Etringer on 10th September 1959 on the bank of the Moselle between Stadtbredimus and Hüttermühle, 1 km downstream of the Paul Eyschen Monument, municipality of Stadtbredimus (Reichling 1962; Obs. key: DSS00465000000XF, MNHNL 2000-).

Currently, more than 70 observations of Bidens frondosa are documented, most of them originating in the Moselle valley (MNHNL, iNaturalist & GBIF 2019).

The species is currently expanding to the west of the flora territory (Lambinon & Verloove 2012: 722).
