high, and not much branched. The berries are said to be 
oblong, purplish, and about an inch in length. 
This very handsome robust shrub requires the same kind 
of treatment as Fuchsia fulgens, and like the other kinds 
demands a rich soil, composed of sandy loam and leaf-mould, 
or well decomposed cow-dung, and plenty of pot room and 
moisture during the growing season, if it is to become a large 
and handsome object. After flowering, and in the autumn, 
the plants should be kept nearly dry; they may even be 
placed during the winter in a dry cellar, or other such place 
where they are secured from frost, until the following April. 
No doubt it will strike freely from cuttings of the half- 
ripened shoots, treated in the ordinary way, any time when 
such can be procured. 
It seems disposed to flower during all the summer and 
autumn.
