Dahlia is a genus of bushy, summer- and autumn-flowering tuberous perennials. Dahlias are originally from Mexico and are Mexico's national flower. The Spanish discovered dahlias in the mountains of Mexico.

In 2372, Captain Noah Wrightson had dahlias, amongst other plants, growing in the private Captain's arboretum. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One")

The dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl.
