FUCHSIA. This Plant was fo 

 named by Father Plumier, who dif- 

 covered it in America, in Honour to 

 the Memory of Leonard Fuchfus, a 

 learned Botanill. 



The Characlers are ; 



It halh a funnel-Jhaped Flower, 

 confflin% of cnc Leaf) and divided in- 

 to federal Parts at the Brim ; whofe 

 Cup afterward be comes a rour.dijh fo/t 

 fejby Fruit, which is divided into 

 four C://s, whuh are full of '/ oundifh 

 Seeds. 



We have but one Sort of this 

 •Plant ; */*«.. 



Fuchsia triphylia, flort toecineo. 

 Plum. Nov. Gtn. Three,- leav'd 

 Fuchfia, with a (carlet Fiower. 



This Plant is a - Native in the 

 warmed Parts of America : it wasdif- 

 covered by Fafher Plumier, in fome 

 of the French Iflands in America ; 

 and was fince found by the late Dr. 

 William Houfloun, at Ccribagena in 

 New-Spain ; from whence he lent 

 the Seeds into England. 



This is propagated by Seed?, 

 which mull be town in Pots filled 

 with rich light Earth, and plunged 

 into an Hot-bed of Tanners Bark. 

 In about a Month after the Seeds are 

 fown, the Plants will begin to ap- 

 pear ; when they fhould be carefully 

 cleared from Weeds, and frequently 

 refreOied with Water to promote 

 their Growth ; and when they are 

 about two Inches high they mould 

 be fhaken out of the Pots, and fe 

 parated carefully; then plant each 

 into a fmall Pot filled with light rich 

 Earth, and plunge them again into 

 an Hot-bed of Tanners Bark ; being 

 careful to fcreen them from the Sun, 

 until they have taken new Root ; 

 after which time they muft have 



Vol. I. 



frefh Air admitted to them every 

 Day in proportion to the Warmth 

 of the Sealon, and mould be fre- 

 quently watered ; and when the 

 Plants are grown fo tall as to reach 

 the daffes, they mould be removed 

 into the Bark-Hove, and plunged in- 

 to the Tan-bed. In Winter time 

 thefe Plants require to be kept very- 

 warm ; and at that Seafon they muft 

 not have fo much Water as in Sum- 

 mer ; but it muft be often repeated. 



Thefe Plants are too tender td 

 thrive in the open Air in this Coun- 

 try, even in the hotteft Part of the 

 Year; therefore they mould con- 

 ftantly remain in the Stove, obferv- 

 ing to let in a large Share of frefti 

 Air in Summer ; but in Winter the/ 

 muft be kept warm : with this Ma- 

 nagement tae Plants will produce 

 their Flowers, and make a beautiful 

 Appearance in the Stove, amongft 

 other tender Exotic Plants.
