Dahlia coccinea, Cav. (C. bidentifolia, Salisb. C. Cervantesii, Lag. C. Crocea, Poir.). Fig. 1208, redrawn from B.M. 762 (1804). Always more slender than D. rosea, with narrower lfts., and in the wild, at least, dwarfer than that species. The color range is much smaller, and does not include white or any shade of purple or crimson. The colors vary from scarlet, through orange to yellow. There are no double forms, and it has been said that this species will not hybridize with D. rosea. The named varieties pictured in I.H. 31:515 and 533 (1881), which are emphatically declared to be varieties of D. coccinea, are probably garden forms of D. rosea. The only characters that certainly distinguish D. coccinea from D. rosea are the glaucous sts. and infertile rays of the former, but these characters break down in garden forms. B.M. 762. Gn. 19:154. G.C. II. 12:525. CH
