Fuchsia procumbens
Common Name: Creeping Fuchsia
Family: Onagraceae
Country of Origin: New Zealand
Description: It is a slender, much branched prostrate or trailing shrub. Its stems very slender, often 60 to 90 cm long and the bark is brown and peeling. It has rounded green leaves about 10mm in diameter. The flowers are unusual for a fuchsia in that they are upright (a distinction it shares with F. arborescens of Mexico) and yellow in colour with the red anthers. The pollen is blue. The flowers occur in September - May followed by edible red berries in early winter.
It is now a rare species in the wild because of the destruction of its natural habitat and is listed as an endangered plant species.3
