to F. 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.
