Fuchsia bracelinae is a species of Fuchsia found in Brazil.[1]
Description[edit]
The Fuchsia bracelinae plant is a subshrub that grows 10-60 cm tall, with few to many branches or occasionally as scandent shrubs reaching 2 m high in dense shrubbery. The branchlets are reddish-purple, densely covered in short, erect, whitish hairs, with older branches shedding bark. Leaves are arranged in groups of 3-5, membranous, narrowly elliptic-lanceolate, 20-50 mm long, 7-17 mm wide, with a narrowly acute apex and rounded base. They are green and slightly hairy above, paler and usually purple-flushed below, densely hairy on the veins and margins. Flowers are solitary in upper leaf axils, with slender, hairy, pendulous pedicels 12-20 mm long. The ovary is oblong, hairy, 4.5-8 mm long, 2-3 mm wide, and the floral tube is cylindrical-fusiform, 3.5-7 mm long, 2-4 mm wide. Sepals are narrowly lanceolate to elliptic-ovate, connate at the base for 3-5 mm, with free lobes 5-8 mm wide at the base and an acuminate apex. Petals are deep violet, broadly obovate, 10-15 mm long, 6.5-9 mm wide. Stamens have reddish-purple filaments, 24-30 mm and 17-21 mm long, with elliptic anthers 2.5-3 mm long, 1.2-1.6 mm wide. The style is light red, with a reddish, clavate to subglobose stigma 1.5-3 mm long, 1-1.5 mm wide, exerted 5-14 mm beyond the anthers. Young fruits are oblong.[2]
