 a fruit tree, especially for the northern 

 states, where Pecan is not quite hardy. 

 Several named varieties are in trade, of 

 which probably var. MaJesi, Hort., with 

 large, thin-shelled nut, is the best known. 

 An ornamental, often very picturesque 

 tree; the stout branches forming a rather 

 broad, usually somewhat open head.

HIDALGOA {''after the Mexican Hidalgo"). Syn., 

 ChMdsia. C'omp6sit(e> This includes a tender her- 

 baceous vine, allied to Dahlia, with scarlet fls. about 

 2.H ill- across, introduced in 1899 by John Lewis Childs, 

 under the name of Childsia Wercklei, or "Treasure 

 Vine." Hidalgoa is closely allied to Dahlia and Coreop- 

 sis, but differs from both in the large, fertile akene of 

 the rays and in the sterile disc-fls., the styles of which 

 are entire or very shortly 2-lobed. Only 2 species were 

 hitherto recognized, both from Central America. From 

 these _ff. Wercklei differs in its more compound Ivs. 

 and much larger heads. Suitable for cool, shady ver- 

 andas. 



Wercklei, Hook. (Ch'ildsia Wercklei, J. L. Childs). 

 Tall, woody at base, much branched, climbing by peti- 

 oles : Ivs. opposite, pinnately ternatisect, lK-2Vo in. 

 long, 2 in. wide, the teeth tipped reddish brown: petiole 

 l>2-2 in. long, coiled at base: peduncle axillary, as long 

 as the Ivs., 1-tld. : ravs about 10. Costa Rica. B.M.
