This plant veiy hapjiily unites two names of 
celebrity. Fuchsius was an eminent physician of 
Tubengen, in Wurtemberg; Jephson an eminent 
physician of Leamington, in England. We are 
indebted to the politeness of the latter for the 
beautiful Fuchsia which we now figure, it having 
been raised in his garden at Leamington, and will 
be coveted as much for the name it bears as for 
its novelty and beauty. 
It will be observed that we have given an outline 
of a second flower, which was kindly sent to us by 
the Messrs. Dickson, the extensive nurserymen 
of Chester, under the name of Fuchsia acantha. 
This we did not receive till our engraving of the 
first-mentioned variety had been executed, or we 
may have contrived to give a coloured figure of 
each in juxtaposition. It will be looked on with 
interest, being, as it is, another novelty of the sea- 
son, having white tube and sepals, and being some- 
what larger than the preceding one. 
The numerous Fuchsias already in our gardens 
are, we are convinced, divided into too many spe- 
cies ; their character, when propagated from seeds,
