This brief description was found in an old book, A Fuchsia Survey by W.P. Wood:
‘The following have small flowers, free flowering, thin wiry but erect growth. They are known in cultivation as the Breviflorae section’.
hemsleyana. (Costa Rica)
Fairly tall. Leaves; elliptic to ovate, obtuse. Flowers; rose to purplish.
microphylla. (Mexico)
Tall, densely branched. Leaves; lance-oblong to elliptic, sharply serrulate, coriaceous. Flowers; deep red. There appear to be some variations.
thymifolia. (Mexico)
Small to medium sized shrub. Leaves; elliptic-ovate to round ovate, obtuse to acute at top. Flowers; white to pink.
This description agrees with some plants grown under microphylla in this country.
