we have observed to vary exceedingly, even with- 
out hybi’idisation. Dr. Lindley, excepting in mere 
habit, can discover no difference between discolor, 
tenella, and gracilis. Da\dd Don pronounced gra- 
cilis, conica, decussata, and globosa to be one 
species ; and Sir J. W. Hooker says he is probably 
right. The tw'o garden varieties -which we here 
publish, belong to the same section. 
The foliage of the Leamington and Chester 
Fuchsias is nearly alike. The tubes and sepals of 
each, whilst in the greenhouse, are of a tolerably 
clear white, but on being fully exposed to the wea- 
ther, they assume a very slight tinge of pink. Dr. 
Jephson’s Fuchsia the least so. The corolla of this 
is deep rose-coloured, slightly tinged with purple ; 
that of the Messrs. Dickson’s plant a bright Ver- 
million. Judging from the two plants now before 
us, both of which are of free growth, and w’ell flow- 
ered, the Chester plant is most robust, its flowers 
largest; the Leamington 2^1ant the most freely 
flowered, and its sepals the clearest white. 
Eespecting the parentage — that is, the immediate 
varieties of which these white-flowered Fuchsias 
are seedlings, we have no information, nor is it 
perhaps of much imjiortance. The Messrs. Dickson 
gathered their seed promiscuously from the best 
pale-flowered varieties, some of which had been 
fertilized, the one with the other; and this, they 
inform us, was the only one worth preservation out 
of a great number of seedlings which they had 
jjropagated. Both plants are interesting additions 
to the present multifarious stock of Fuchsias, lately 
raised, and should be added to every collection.
