The species of Fuchsia, numerous as they are in gardens, 
have still to be increased by some of the most interesting and 
handsome. If the woods of Mexico and Chile, now almost 
exhausted, have yielded us the species called thymifolia, mi- 
crophylla, cylindrica, lycioides, fulgens, macrostema, gracilis, 
and all their train of beautiful hybrids, we have still the rich 
storehouse of the Cordilleras of Peru to investigate, from 
whence F. corymbiflora only, itself a treasure, has as yet 
appeared. 
For these we may confidently look to Mr. Hartweg, who is 
now on his route from the Cinchona forests of Guayaquil to 
the untrodden mountains of Popayan, and along all that richly 
wooded district Fuchsias may be expected to abound. 
Not that more accessible countries are exhausted ; for in 
the present number two new forms are published, one from 
Mexico and the other from Brazil. The former, now before 
us, is remarkable for the rich green which terminates the 
scarlet flowers, which, if it takes something from their bril- 
liancy, adds much to the novelty of their appearance. It has 
moreover a fine broad foliage, and when out of flower is hand- 
somer than the generality of its race. 
It was found by Mr. Hartweg on Xetuch, a volcano in
