About
Bidens hyperborea, mistakenly known as Chudweed, refers to a species of flowering plant native to North America. Bidens hyperborea gained meme attention in 2024 because it phonetically resembled the phrase "Biden's Hyperborea": a combination of U.S. President Joe Biden's last name and Hyperborea, the mythological utopian land said to be inhabited by Nordic-looking Hyperboreans. Also, an alternate name for the plant was said to be Chudweed in a viral Twitter / X post, referencing the slang term Chud and weed. However, "chudweed" was not a real name for the plant and was instead coined by a Wikipedia raid in June 2024.
Information
Bidens hyperborea is the scientific name for estuary beggarticks, a flowering plant native to northeastern North America, characterized by orange and yellow blooms.[1]
