The nativity of this species is doubtful (FNA, vol. 21), and, if native to Florida, it possibly is only native to South Florida. Quite likely it is an early introduction. The earliest known records in Florida are from the 1830s in Tampa Bay and Key West (Torrey & Gray 1842, as B. leucantha), and subsequently documented around Indian River in 1874 (Palmer, US), Cedar Keys in 1876 (Garber, US), Miami in 1877 (Garber, US), Manatee in 1889 (Simpson, US), and Mobile, Alabama in 1891 (Mohr, US). Some treatments have opted for recognizing only B. pilosa s.lat. (FNA, vol. 21; Melechert 2010; León de la Luz & Medel Narváez 2013), while others have continued to recognize B. alba, B. odorata, and B. pilosa s.s. (Ganders & Nagata 1983; Ballard 1986). Reportedly B. alba and B. pilosa s.s. are interfertile (Norton 1991). Bidens alba has been epitypified by a specimen from Veracruz, Mexico, the putative provenance of the original material (Ferrer-Gallego 2016). The epitype had been annotated by Ballard as B. alba.

Some specimens in the West Indies appear to have some achenes with three awns, some with only two awns, and some with a reduced third awn (e.g. Franck et al. 3757, Proctor 26315).

Listed Status:	(Florida):Source - Plants in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act. Chapter 5B-40, Florida Administrative Code. 1998, amended.
Endangered:	A species of plants native to the state that are in imminent danger of extinction within the state, the survival of which is unlikely if the causes of a decline in the number of plants continue, and includes all species determined to be endangered or threatened pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
Threatened:	Listed as Threatened Plants in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act. Defined as species of plants native to the state that are in rapid decline in the number of plants within the state, but which have not so decreased in such number as to cause them to be endangered.

Listed Status: US	(U.S.) Source - List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
Endangered:	Any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
Threatened:	Any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.

AD:	Adaptive Species. Plant species designated as FAC or Upland by DEP, but commonly seen in the transition zone in limited numbers.
D:	Deep Species. Plant species commonly found in the deep zone, and designated either FAC or OBL by DEP.
OD:	Outer Deep Species. Plant species commonly found in the outer deep zone, and designated either FACW or OBL by DEP.
T:	Transition Species. Plant species commonly found in the transition zone, and designated either FACW or OBL by DEP.
U:	Upland Species. Plant species that are not expected to be seen in wetlands.
