Fuchsia (/ ˈ f juː ʃ ə / FEW-shə) is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees.. Almost 110 species of Fuchsia are recognized; the vast majority are native to South America, but a few occur north through Central America to Mexico, and also several from New Zealand to Tahiti.
Flowers are green when young, and turn bright red to pink to purple in colour and often emerge from the main stem. Flowers are solitary and pendulous. The four showy sepals tend to be 5–16 mm long. Filaments tending to range from 7–12 mm in length and purplish in colour. The flowers of Fuchsia excorticata are gynodioecious. [3]
The family is characterised by flowers with usually four sepals and petals; in some genera, such as Fuchsia, the sepals are as brightly coloured as the petals. The seeds are generally very small. In some genera, such as Epilobium , they have tufts of hairs [ 6 ] and are dispersed on the wind.
The flowers buds are arranged singly in leaf axils on a flattened peduncle 22–55 mm (0.87–2.17 in) long, the pedicel 13–20 mm (0.51–0.79 in) long. Mature buds are red, oblong in side view, square in cross-section, 35–43 mm (1.4–1.7 in) long and 11–20 mm (0.43–0.79 in) wide with a narrow wing on each corner and a flat, disc-like ...

The racemes of tubular or funnel-shaped flowers are terminal, and colors are mostly reddish, ranging from fuchsia to pink to red-orange. The wide degree of variation has led to the description of many subspecies , mostly no longer recognised as distinct due to the extensive intergradation between them; the following are still recognised:
