Question
I was in a wooded, fresh water wetland today in the very southeast corner of Connecticut (Greenwich), and came across this plant growing mixed in with stilt grass, white cut grass, and some other natives. The wetland did not have any standing water, some spots were a little muddy, otherwise the entire area was covered with herbaceous plants with an over-story of maples (some alive, some dead), creating a mix of sun and shade. The plant seemed to be growing in groups, and was about 3-4' high.
Answer
Dear cqbrown12, I am unsure of the identity of the plant in your images, but the pinnately compound, opposite leaves and ecology you mention certainly suggest Bidens (beggar-ticks). I would start there in your research to identify this plant. Best wishes.
