Fuchsia magellanica Lam. var. grandiflora maxima
See Fuchsia magellanica Lam. var. grandiflora for detail. Fuchsia grandiflora maxima was described in the Floricultural Cabinet: ‘Sepals purplish-red, corolla nearly the same colour.’ [FC p.213/1841]. This is almost certainly an improved form of Fuchsia grandiflora described in the same journal. This plant appears to be a form of Fuchsia magellanica Lam.
