Fuchsia couvmuifloua. — This splendid plant is a native of Peru ; was im- 

 ported by John Standish, nurseryman, Bagshot, and has now flowered with 

 him. This plant is the most noble of its tribe, both in beauty of foliage and 

 magnificence of flower, that has yet been introduced into this country. It in 

 much more hardy than fulgens, starting early to growth in the spring, without 

 any excitement, growing well, turned out in the summer months, in the most 

 exposed situation, and is now thriving with the greatest luxuriance in a cold 

 frame. The foliage is about the size of fulgens, enly thicker and of avery green 

 colour. It throws out an immense raceme of flowers on a flower stalk quite out 

 beyond the foliage, which, like fulgens, lengthens as it flowers, only being many 

 more in number, it is longer than fulgens, and having several branching racemes 

 on the same flower stalk, which hang down and cover the naked part wheie the 

 first flowers drop. The main raceme and the branching racemes are produced 

 so as to form a handsome corymbous head, and the whole when in lull flower is 

 two feet long. Each flower is rather longer than fulgens, the calyx of a deep 

 red colour, and quite reflexed ; the corolla is nearly one inch long, of a crimson 

 scarlet, and expanding like the calyx of a common Fuschia, which makes it very 

 conspicuous.
