| By the searching in
search-engines to fuchsia-sites you arrest regular on sites about plants with 'Fuchsia' in
their common name. That are plants which have nothing to do with our fuchsia gardenhobby.
Often it goes then about a plant with flowers that has the tubular form of the fuchsia
species F. triphylla. On the website 'The Plant Press - Dictionary of Common Names' there
stands a whole list with plants, who have in their common name the indication 'Fuchsia'.
Many of that plants are been found in America, Australia or Africa and they thank their
common name to the original population (the natives). In the collections of our Dutch
fuchsia-lovers occur only two of the list in the website named above, namely Fuchsia Begonia and Cape Fuchsia.
They are in the Netherlands better known under the latin name'Begonia fuchsioides'
and 'Phygelius'. But
how are all that 'false fuchsias' looking out and which givens and photos are to be find
over it? A further search on internet delivered information for the following informative
pages. By clicking on the denominations in understanding list you find text and
