ing in the manner of F. macrostema and its varieties. F. 
denticulata is described as twelve feet high, gorgeously beau- 
tiful when loaded with its purple flowers, still larger than 
those of F. corymbiflora; while F. simplicicaulis and apetala 
are similar in appearance but yet more striking. 
The lover of plants will be glad to learn that this noble spe- 
cies is very easily managed. It strikes readily from cuttings, 
and the soil which suits it is a mixture of loam, peat, and 
sand. Though very pretty if grown in a pot, there is no 
doubt that it will form a much more beautiful object if sta- 
tioned in the border of the conservatory. When more com- 
mon, of course it will be used to plant out in the beds of the 
flower-garden in the same way as Fuchsia fulgens, and will 
probably be found to be more hardy.
