description

Vegetative characteristics

The black fruited two-toothed tooth is an annual herbaceous plant that reaches a height of between 30 and 120 cm, but in exceptional cases it can be up to 3 m high in the reeds. This species usually grows heavily branched from the bottom with branches pointing diagonally upwards. The stem is often purple in color. The opposite leaves are long stalked and usually three-part (up to five-part) pinnate. The lanceolate leaflets are clearly serrate and seated on the leaf spindle with a narrowed, often asymmetrical base. In contrast to the three-part two-tooth and the radial two-tooth , the leaves are completely separated into partial leaflets.

Generative characteristics

The flowering period extends from August to September. The cups are surrounded by five to eight unequal bracts , which are usually narrowly lanceolate in shape. The bracts of the cups, on the other hand, are broadly oval and sometimes a little reddish in color at the tip. The flower heads, which are 5 to 10 mm in diameter, contain only yellow tubular flowers . On the base of the inflorescence between the tubular flowers there are blackish, dry chaff leaves . Ray florets are absent.

The flat, blackish to blackish-brown achenes are also bumpy on the surface. On top of the achenes sit two awn-shaped teeth, which are usually set with backward-pointing spines.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 48.

Systematics

The variety Bidens frondosus var. Frondosus

The variety Bidens frondosus var. Anomalus

The variety Bidens frondosa var. Anomala Porter ex Fernald is rarer than the mostly occurring nominate form Bidens frondosa var. Frondosa . In the case of Bidens frondosa var. Anomala , the awns of the fruits are provided with upward-pointing spines, in contrast to the variety Bidens frondosa var. Frondosa .

Occurrence

General distribution

The homeland of Bidens frondosus is Canada and the United States. In the meantime it has spread as a neophyte in Europe, Asia, Morocco and New Zealand . Its distribution area extends from Portugal and Spain, France and the Netherlands to Italy, Bosnia, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. It shows a sub-Mediterranean-subatlantic spreading tendency. In Austria one finds this species scattered to moderately often along the big rivers, in Switzerland it is naturalized in southern Ticino.

Distribution in Germany

The black fruited bizarre occurs scattered in the northern area along the large rivers. In some cases it is already quite common there. It is increasingly penetrating the central and southern areas, especially along the navigable rivers. It is only rarely found on the Danube.

Location requirements

The black fruited two-toothed tooth grows on banks, rivers, ditches, ponds, lakes, roadsides, etc. It prefers moist to wet, at times flooded, nutrient- and nitrogen-rich, muddy soils. It is also rarely found in dry ruderal areas. In Central Europe it is a character species of the order Bidentetalia tripartitae.
