This is by far the most beautiful of the Fuchsias that 
have of late been introduced; resembling F. gracilis in 
the brilliancy of its flowers, but far surpassing it in the 
profusion with which they are produced. It grows freely 
in the open air in a peat border, where, during all the 
latter months of summer, it forms a small bush, resplendent 
with purple, green, and crimson. 
Our drawing was made at the garden of the Horticul- 
tural Society in 1826. The plant had been raised from 
Chilian seeds, presented to the Society by Mr. Place, 
in 1824,
