Fuchsia, Plumier. In honour of the celebrated 

 German botanist, Leonard Fuchs, author of 

 Historia Stirpium, in 1542. Linn. 8, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Onagracece. A most beautiful and 

 well-known genus of plants, well worthy a 

 place in every garden. The garden varieties 

 are now numbered by hundreds, and some are 

 exceedingly beautiful. Descriptions of their 

 colours and characters are given in the nursery- 

 men's annual catalogues. A mixture of loam 

 and peat suits them well, but they will grow 

 equally well in any light-rich soil ; and young 

 cuttings will root freely in sand or soil ; if 

 placed under a glass, it must occasionally be 

 taken off to give air, or the cuttings are liable 

 to damp. Synonymes: 1, macrostimon cinica ;
