Dahlia Cav. is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae family, native to Mexico, where the tuber is considered edible despite its pungent taste. The genus name is a tribute to the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl (1751-1789), a student of Linnaeus. It includes herbaceous species with oblong tuberous roots, erect stem, often woody at the base, of variable height between 20 cm and 2 m, large compound leaves, formed by 3-5 toothed leaflets, bearing very decorative simple or double flowers of various shapes and colors.
