Fuchsia hybrida -
Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small
trees. The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of
Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in about 1696-1697 by the
French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier during his third expedition to
the Greater Antilles. He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist
Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566). Fuchsia and Magenta are the same color.
