The genus has many iianifs of ,s]K-cifs. but must of them are synonymous ati'l ill-inHltTstouii names. There are perhaps 8 or 9- fairly distinct species altogether, Mexican almost ex- clusively, with a very few in Central and South America. It is curious that these showy plants should be closely related to a common weed, the beggar's tick, of the fjenus Bidens ; but other species of Dahlia have leaves whose forms pass gradually into those of Bidens. Other close allies are Cosmos and Coreopsis. Cosnio» flowers are some shade of purple, rarely white in wild nature, and only one species has yellow fls.; Core- opsis has yellow fls. only; Bidens yellow or white; and none of these genera have produced double-flowered forms of the first importance. Dahlia has all these col- ors an
