Foreword

 

Up to the present the subject botanical fuchsias was for me an item, of which I knew not to bring on this website new information for the fuchsialovers. What there is to find about on internet is 'much of the same'. Mostly it are webpages with species-names, which are fastened in group-tabels (secties). Often there are also showed photos of species. About the breeding up of the various species - that is for certain species specific - is to find on internet still little information. Very usefull breeding-up information about species you find in the book Botanishe Fuchsia's from Mrs. Mia Goedman-Frankema. In the first years of the UTC of the Dutch KNvF - I have helped collective breeding up  many of this species which were imported from America. And while then much of this specific breeding-up information wasn't still available for the members of the botanical group, there failed much. Yes, also in my collection. Therefore I became not a fan of botanical fuchsia's.

Recently I visit a Brasilian website of a supplier of plantessences who published there a large list with names of occuring fuchsia species. By comparing this names with among others the standard work'A revision of the genus fuchsia (onagraceae)' from P.A.Munz, I saw soon that in this list also were standing the synonym names of the species.. Many explorers have scoured the often inhospitable territories of South-America to among this fuchsiaspecies. That happened in the 17e and 18e century, in a period that the photography wasn't discovered.

Herbarium page with earlier gathered parts of the species F.summa for comparing new discoveries.

The only comparing material at the discovery situations exist of collections in herbaria or drawings (engravings) which were made by sooner explorers on a place where something has been found. So the explorers Hipolito Ruiz & José Pavon have fastened in the Andes mountains their discoveries in engravings. These pictures are published in the botanical book 'Flora Peruviana et Chilensis'. Eight copies of engravings of their found fuchsiaspecies you can see on this GFI-website (click here)

Than it isn't  also a wonder that by this faulty many fuchsiaspecies have got synonym names. Later explorers as Munz, Breedlove and Paul Berry have tried to fasten synonym names in their publications.  It thought me well to fasten after this what are the realy botanical fuchsia's (species). Also some names of species, which are noticed on the websites  www.soraf-botanique.com and www.hoefakkerfuchsia.nl, are added.  As in the following eight pages tables is to see in the column 'Volgnummers Europese collectie' I count momentary 105 fuchsia-species. From the find synonym names are also fastened in this tables the real speciesnames.

It seems me suitable to illustrate the tables with copies engravings of fuchsiaspecies, which are mostly in former times made by the teams explorers on the habitat place.
