Fuchsia is a genus of gelechioid moths and only genus of the Fuchsiini tribe. In some systematic layouts, it is placed in the subfamily Amphisbatinae of the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae). Delimitation of Amphisbatinae versus the closely related Depressariidae and Oecophorinae is a major problem of Gelechioidea taxonomy and systematics, and most authors separate the former two as full-blown families, and/or include the Amphisbatinae in Depressariidae, or merge them in the Oecophorinae outright.

<i>Deppea splendens</i> Species of plant

Deppea splendens, the golden fuchsia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It has been extinct in the wild since its habitat was cleared for farmland. It grows to 12–15 feet (3.7–4.6 m) tall, appearing as a small tree or large shrub. It was once native to Chiapas, Mexico, but is now found solely in horticulture. It bears gold and pink flowers. Dennis Breedlove, the discoverer, brought back Csapodya splendens seeds in 1981. It is grown in the San Francisco Conservatory of flowers inside the Highland Tropics gallery. The Huntington Gardens in Southern California also has an example growing in its conservatory.
