The response of Bidens radiata Thuill., a short‐day plant, to conditions for flower induction changes during the first 96 h after germination: the earlier the induction, the better the flowering response. Flowering is observed without previous vegetative development. An histological study shows that failure to flower is correlated with the development of the primordia of the second node leaves. The antagonism between vegetative and floral development is discussed.
