Description
The Fuchsia bracelinae plant is a subshrub that grows 10–60 cm tall sometimes as scandent shrubs reaching 2 m high. The branchlets are reddish-purple covered with whitish hairs and mature branches have flaking bark. Leaves are narrowly elliptic-lanceolate, 20-50 x 7–17 mm, narrowly acute apex and rounded base. They are green and slightly hairy above, paler and usually purple-flushed below, with densely hairs on the veins and margins. Flowers are solitary growing from the upper leaf axils, with slender, hairy, pendulous pedicels 12–20 mm long. The ovary is oblong, hairy, 4.5-8 x 2–3 mm wide, and the floral tube is cylindrical 3.5-7 x 2–4 mm wide. Sepals are narrowly lanceolate. Petals are deep violet, broadly obovate, 10–15 mm x 6.5–9 mm. Stamens have reddish-purple filaments, 24-30 x 17–21 mm long. The style is light red. Young fruits are oblong and purple.
