Rare Fuchsia discovery The article about the rare fuchsia F.summa is very misleading. To begin with the fuchsia is not fuchsia summa and to say it was lost is,quite frankly B... S... Fuchsia summa is rare but has never been on the verge of extinction. The fuchsia in question was first found by Paul Berry and then by Dave Green and Eileen Waters in southern Ecuador.
