FUCHSIA AND EVENING PRIMROSE FAMILY. 409 



appear to have been first produced about 1837, or soon after 

 the introduction of the long vermilion -flowered F. fulgens. 

 Then came F. corymbiflora, F. cordifolia, F. serratifolia, and 

 others ; and the cross-breeding which took place between the 

 long-flowered kinds and the globose varieties produced many 

 beautiful forms, including those named in the following list, 

 which was contributed to the ' Gardeners' Chronicle ' by Mr 

 W. B. Hemsley :

According to M. Porcher, the true hybrids in this genus are 

 but few F. exoniensis (F. cordifolio-globosd] (see * Paxt. Mag. of 

 Bot.,' x. 151), F. Standishii (F. globoso-fulgens]. F. Toddiana 

 is another hybrid from the same parents (' Bot. Reg.,' t. ii., 

 1 840). F. Dominiana is from F. spectabilis fertilised with pollen 

 of F. serratifolia, and was sent out in 1854. Hybrids between 

 F. globosa and F. magellanica have been obtained, together with 

 numerous half-breds, and hundreds of beautiful cross-bred 

 varieties. Hybrid Fuchsias, like hybrid Calceolarias, are as 

 fertile as the true species. 



The first white-sepalled Fuchsia was Venus victrix. This
