Frutex plus minusve minute pubescens, ramis ramulisque elongatis, gracillimis, teretibus. Folia 
seepissime alterna, longiuscule petiolata, membranacea, minute molliterque pubescentia, inte- 
gerrima, ovato-lanceolata, elliptica vel interdum fere rotundata, utrinque obtusa vel acuta, 1- 
2-pollicaria; petiolo gracili, 2-4 lin. longo. Flores graciliter pedunculati, axillares, solitarii, 
5-6 lin. diametro; pedunculi filiformes, 4-8 lin. longi; calycis tubus ad 3 lin. longus, apice 
latus, deorsum gradatim attenuatus, lobi ovati, longe apiculati, patentes, tubo paulo breviores ;. 
petala oblonga vel elliptica, obtusa, plana vel undulata, patentia, calycis lobis subzqualia ; 
stamina fere sessilia; ovarium parvum, globosum, stylo exserto, stigmate 4-lobato.—H. B. K.

Sourn Mexico, near Pazcuaro, at 6780 feet (Humboldt & Bonpland), Real del Monte 
(Coulter, 17 6), Mineral del Monte (Ehrenberg), without localities (Tate, Graham, and 
others). Hb. Kew. 
This species is readily distinguished among the small-leaved and small-flowered 
species by its soft entire leaves. Possibly F. acynifolia, Scheidw. (Walp. Ann. i. p. 292), 
may belong here. 
14. Fuchsia, sp. 
South Mexico, San Felipe (Andrieux, 389), without locality (Jurgensen, 824). 
Hb. Kew. 
Both specimens bear male flowers only. Possibly they may belong to F. parvifiora, 
but in habit and foliage they look quite different. 
15. Fuchsia, sp. 
Sout Mexico, Chiapas ((Ghiesbreght, 696). Hb. Kew. 
The specimen in hb. Kew. bears male flowers only, and they are not unlike those of 
F. parviflora, but the leaves are much larger and otherwise different. 
16. Fuchsia, sp. 
Souta Mexico, Chiapas (Ghiesbreght, 697). Tb. Kew. 
This may be only a marked variety of F. parviflora, with small somewhat coriaceous 
leaves and hairy branchlets. 
The Mexican and Central-American Fuchsias may be classified, according to their 
affinities, as follows :— 
-§1. Arborescens, foliis amplis, floribus parvis erectis in paniculas amplas terminales dispositis, 
staminibus quam petala brevioribus. 
£. arborescens. 
§ 2. Frutescens, foliis sepius amplis, floribus sepissime magnis longe pedicellatis nutantibus 
axillaribus solitariis vel in racemos terminales dispositis, staminibus quam petala longioribus. 
F, fulgens, cordifolia, intermedia et splendens. 
§ 8. Frutescens, foliis parvis vel mediocribus, floribus parvis vel minutis axillaribus nutantibus, 
staminibus quam petala brevioribus. — 
F. bacillaris, minimiflora, microphylla, minutiflora, mixta, thymifolia, parviflora et 
affines.
