Hidalgoa ("after the Mexican Hidalgo"). Syn.. Childsia. Compositae. A tender herbaceous vine, allied to Dahlia, with scarlet flowers about 2 ½ inches across, introduced in 1899 by John Lewis Childs, under the name of Childsia Wercklei, or "treasure vine."

Hidalgoa is closely allied to Dahlia and Coreopsis, but differs from both in the large, fertile achene of the rays and in the sterile disk-fls., the styles of which are entire or very shortly 2-lobed.—Only 2 species were hitherto recognized, both from Cent. Amer. From these H. wercklei differs in its more compound lvs. and much larger heads. Suitable for cool, shady verandas but cannot be grown north of Washington out-of-doors; quite hardy in S. Calif.
