FUCHSIA LYCIOIDES. Box-THORN FUCHSIA.

Class and Order
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

Generic Character
. Cal. 4-partitus, coloratus, corollifer. Cor. 4-petala. Bacca infera, 4-locularis, polysperma.

Specific Character and Synonyms
. FUCHSIA lycioides, caule tuberculato, soliis ovalibus inte- gerrimis petiolis pedunculifque aggregatis, laciniis calycinis reflexo-patentibus petalis bis longioribus. FUCHSIA lycioides; calycis laciniis reflexis petalis duplo longioribus, antheris alternis brevioribus. Gawler Recenf. Plant. p. 20. FUCHSIA lycioides. Bot. Repos. t. 120.

The FUCHSIA coccinea, figured at No. 96 of this work, was at that time treated as a flove plant, but is now found to be hardy enough to bear our winters in the open ground; but then the stalks generally perish, and the roots put forth new shoots in the spring. The present plant, as well as that, is a native of Chili, but re- quires the protection of a greenhouse; for, when the stem is deftroyed by the frost, the plant we believe perishes altogether, and will not shoot up again in the following year. The FUCHSIA lycioides first flowered in the King's Garden at Kew, in the year 1796, where it was introduced by our friend Mr. ARCHIBALD MENZIES. It is readily propagated by cuttings of the young shoots, which should be fet in a hot- bed in March. Produces its flowers from August to Novem- ber, which are far less showy than those of the scarlet Fuchsia, nor are the petals coiled up in the same manner; nevertheless it is a curious shrub, and by no means twoid of beauty.
