Trees and Shrubs
A division of the Camden Park catalogues that is not clearly defined. In broad terms it includes all plants with woody stems except conifers and fruit trees and shrubs.
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.
Fuchsia magellanica Lam. var. virgata
‘A variety of coccinea; it grows with an innumerable number of twigs, which in summer are filled with a vast profusion of flowers; the flowers are rather larger than coccinea.’ [FC p.176/1834].
Fuchsia Meillez’ ‘Napoleon’
The Cottage Gardener, 1848, described ‘Napoleon’ as having a pure white tube and crimson corolla, dwarf in habit.
Fuchsia Miller’s ‘Miss Prettyman’
Large glossy white tube and sepals, with blood-purple corolla. [Gard. Chron. 1846].
Fuchsia regia (Vand. ex Vell.) Munz. var. radicans (Miers ex Lindl.) Munz
Frost-tender, erect to twining or trailing perennial, with leathery leaves and solitary or paired pendulous flowers in the axils of the upper leaves, to 5cm long, with bright scarlet red to rose-pink tube and sepals and deep purple petals. To 6m or more. [RHSD].
Fuchsia serratifolia Ruiz & Pav.
Frost-tender, erect to twining shrub or small tree with narrow leaves, to 17cm long, and axillary flowers clustered towards the ends of branches, with pink or light red tubes and sepals, tipped green-white, and slightly wavy, orange to vermillion corolla. To 10m. [RHSD, Hortus]. Fuchsia serratifolia has been described as a variety of F. denticulata with leaves rather more serrated than the type.
Fuchsia serratifolia Ruiz & Pav. var. multiflora
See Fuchsia serratifolia Ruiz & Pav. The variety Fuchsia serratifolia multiflora was described in the Floricultural Cabinet: ‘The handsome species most of our readers know, the present variety is a good acquisition. The flowers are a little less than the former, the tube two inches long, of a pretty rosy-lilac colour, and the corolla a light orange. The plant blooms much more freely than the original species. It merits a place in every collection.’ [FC p.267/1851].
Fuchsia Smith's ‘Transparens’
Smith’s ‘Transparens’ was offered for sale by Smith’s of Hackney in The Gardener’s Chronicle [GC p.314/1843]. No description was given. I have found no other description.
Fuchsia Smith’s ‘Dalstonia’
Smith’s Fuchsia ‘Dalstonia’ was described in the Floricultural Cabinet, ‘New hybrid Fuchias – notices of new plants’, by Nathaniel Norman: ‘Sepals, tubular portion rose, divisions yellow and green, reflexed. Petals bright red. A very profuse bloomer.’ [FC p.213/1841].
Fuchsia Standish’s ‘Colossus’
Standish’s ‘Colossus’ has a crimson tube and sepals, hardly reflexed, and a ‘particularly fine purple corolla’. [MB p.32/1844].
Fuchsia Stokes’ ‘Duke of Wellington’
Probably Stokes’ ‘Duke of Wellington’: ‘Tube and sepals a rich crimson, corolla violet. Fine florist flower.’ [FC p.279/1854].
Fuchsia Storey’s ‘Devoniensis’
‘This is a fine variety of excellent habit, with a short scarlet tube, and sepals of fine texture; corolla beautiful light violet, and well formed. It is an abundant bloomer, and will be an acquisition to every collection.’ [Gard. Chron. 1851].
Fuchsia Storey’s ‘Multiplex’
‘Multiplex’, Storey, 1850. ‘Tube and sepals bright crimson, well reflexed. corolla deep-purple and very double, resembling a double violet.’ [FC p.267/1851].
Fuchsia Story’s ‘Queen Victoria’
Story’s ‘Queen Victoria’ had ‘splendid wide sepals, beautifully reflexed, of a bright scarlet crimson, and a lovely clear white corolla.’ Advertisement from Messrs. E. G. Henderson & Son. [Gard. Chron. 1855].
Fuchsia Turville & Smith’s ‘Cleopatra’
‘Cleopatra’ […] ‘a good variety’ bred by Turville and Smith, was recommended by The Gardeners' Chronicle. [Gard. Chron. 1846]. It was a ‘light coloured’ fuchsia, which at that time usually meant that the tube and sepals were whitish and the corolla a shade of crimson.
