Simple-leaved Beggartick (Bidens simplicifolia)
The Simple-leaved Beggartick was a terrestrial herb that was found only once, in 1897, near the Hacienda El Recreo in the Manabí Province of Ecuador.
The region has now lost almost all of its original forest cover and this species might well be extinct.
