Summary
Fuchsia magellanica is a shrub with many horticultural varieties. In tropical regions where it has been introduced (such as La Réunion and Hawaii), this rapidly developing plant tends to dominate native plant species. The very dense foliage of Fuchsia magellanica thickets intercept light, thus limiting the development of native understorey plants.
