Bidens trichosperma, the marsh beggar-ticks or marsh tickseed, is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to central Canada (Quebec, Ontario) and to the eastern and north-central United States (primarily the Northeast, Great Lakes, and northern Great Plains, with a few isolated populations in the Southeast).[2]
