Botanist should recognize this as the Fuchsia rosea of Ruiz and Pavon, which those authors declare to be
found in rocky places about Valparaiso, and still more strange that both Audi-ews aud Sir J. E. Smith should
give it as au inhabitant of the North-West coast of Americii. It was long ago introduced to oiu- gardens by
Mr. Menzies firom the coast of Chili.

H.AB. Valparaiso.—This we have also received from Mr. Cruckshanks and Mr. Bridges, but without the
vernacular name; nevertheless it accords so well with the Cheken of Feuillee, that we have little doubt of
its being liis plant. When the upper leaves fall off, the peduncles appeal- to be terminal aud coi-ymbose, as
in that author’s figure.

both of whom affirm it to be the Temu of Chili ; but it cannot be the Temus moschata of Molina, wliich he
cousiders the Temu of the country, but which, from his description, authoi-s have ai-ranged with the Magnoli-
ace<B, and near to Drimys.—Oiu- plant has quadj-ifid flowers, and is a fi-ue Eugenia, but it may perhaps be
the Myrtus Luma of Molina aud Sprengel, which De Caudolle with doubt refers to his Myrtus multijlora.

The present plant may perhaps be a distinct species, having the stems slirubby at the base, the leaves smaller
and more in-egularly toothed.
