to #’. apetala, and F. simplicicaulis, of R. & P. whose branches 
are represented as having similar radicant shoots. From its 
handsome flowers, and trailing habit, this species is likely to 
become a favourite ornament in greenhouses, where it will 
flourish well; for though its native place is just within the 
tropics, it grows at an elevation of 3,000 feet, where it ex- 
periences during the nights of the Brazilian winter in those 
regions a temperature frequently as low as 35° to 40° Fah.” 
For the foregoing account I am indebted to John Miers, 
Esq. who introduced this remarkable species to this country. 
Although a native of Brazil, it seems to succeed perfectly in 
the greenhouse or conservatory. It is a free grower, and 
requires much the same treatment as the other Fuchsias in 
cultivation. It has a pendant trailing habit, and if planted 
in the border of the conservatory and trained to a pillar or 
stake would look well, particularly if it flowers freely. From 
its habit however and general appearance we should have 
feared that it would not have turned out such a free bloomer 
as the others, had it not already flowered on small plants at 
Birmingham. It strikes easily from cuttings.
