The name of this genus has been lately noticed. 
Of all the Fuchsias hitherto introduced to our 
gardens, coryinbiflora is the most splendid; still, 
we are told by botanists, who have wandered in the 
wilds of Peru, that even finer than this are yet to 
be obtained. Well may the Peruvians attach to it 
the name of Beauty-bush. It is not, however dis- 
tinct species alone which are aflfording us so much 
gratification, but hybrids of all intermediate grades, 
between our oldest friends of the genus and our 
modern acquaintances — Fulgens and Corymbiflora. 
Every month seems to be giving birth to new forms; 
and doubtless will do so for many years, as we have 
seen to be the case with Calceolaria, and others. 
Fuschia corymbiflora was first raised in this 
country by Mr. Standish, nurseryman, of Bagshot; 
seeds of it having been sent to him from America. 
It is a native of shady woods, towards Lima; and 
noticed by Ruiz and Pavonin their Flora Peruviana. 
In our plate of this very splendid Fuschia we 
can but give a single corymb of its fine flowers; 
and, as indicated by the fractional figures annexed 
thereto, these are no more than half their natural 
223 .
