Fuchsia IV

Fuchsia IV

Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants, mostly shrubs, and can grow long shoots, which were identified by Charles Plumier in the late-17th century, and named by Plumier in 1703 after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566). The English name fuchsias is frequently misspelled “fuschias”.
There are about 100–110 species of Fuchsia. The great majority are native to South America, but with a few occurring north through Central America to Mexico, and also several from New Zealand, and Tahiti. One species, Fuchsia magellanica, extends as far as the southern tip of South America, occurring on Tierra del Fuego in the cool temperate zone, but the majority are tropical or subtropical. Most fuchsias are shrubs from 0.2–4 m (8 in-13 ft) tall, but one New Zealand species, Kotukutuku (Fuchsia excorticata), is unusual in the genus in being a tree, growing up to 12–15 m (39-49 ft) tall.

  • Laura Jane Coelho

    Laura Jane Coelho

    Tom, this is a wonderful shot, indeed. Those flowers are common here in Brazil, where I live, but because of their position, they are hard to shot. In Portuguese they are commonly called “brinco de princesa” or “princess earings”, because they always sprout in pairs. You have wonderful pictures in your portfolio.
