The achene morphology of ten taxa (eight species and two varieties) of the genus Bidens L. (Asteraceae) in Korea was studied in detail using the stereo-microscopy (SM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The size of achenes excluding the arista part is $3.0-19.5{\times}0.7-2.6 mm$. The pappus is made up of 2-4 aristae, and the length of arista is 2.2-5.6 mm long. The striations of barb are 1-3. The achene polymorphism is confirmed in six studied taxa (B. bipinnata, B. biternata, B. frondosa, B. parviflora, B. pilosa var. pilosa, B. tripartita var. tripartita). Four types of achene were recognized based on the shape and the number of arista per fruit. - Type A: oblong with two aristae (B. parviflora); Type B: oblong with three or more aristae (B. bipinnata, B. biternata, B. pilosa var. pilosa, B. pilosa var. minor); Type C: obovate with two aristae (B. frondosa, B. radiata var. radiata, B. radiata var. pinnatifida, B. tripartita var. tripartita); Type D: obovate with three or more aristae (B. cernua). Three surface patterns (i.e., spiral, smooth, and irregular straight in parallel) of barb are also distinguished. The achene surface can be recognized into three types (ribbed areolate, smooth, subfavulariate). Systematic implications of achene characters are also briefly discussed. On the basis of the achene characters, a key of Bidens taxa in Korea is provided.
