I fail to see the relevance of the reference to the word "fuck" in the pronunciation discussion. If pronounced with the original German pronunciation, "fook-sya" doesn't sound any more like "fuck" than the word "fork" does and I don't believe the possiblity of mispronunciation as "fuck-sya" is what leads most people to say "fyew-sha" instead. Pronouncing Latinized botanical names based on words and names from non-Latin languages is always going to be a problem, and there is simply no rule in botanical nomenclature that such names must be pronounced according to the rules of pronunciation of their original language.

In Britan, the name Fuchs is pronounced Fewks, so I think Fewk-sia is just the correct pronounciation. Ali0th 22:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Is it verifiable that Fuchsias can be found mostly in south america? I am doing a school project and would like to check this little tidbit of information. Thanks,

This image is obstructing part of the Eufuchsia listing. I'm not sure how to correct this without deleting the image, so I was wondering if somebody could correct it, and/or let me know how to do so.

I see that the edible berry of this plant is mentioned in the "Description", but I think it would stand out better if it were moved to its own section. Also, if anyone knows of a reputable source for the edibility of the actual flower then it would be nice to also mention the flowers edibility. -- YoDeeKu ( talk) 15:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Is the original pronunciation actually from the German (/ˈfʊksja/)? Although the flower is named in honor of a German, the name was given by the French botanist Charles Plumier and the French pronunciation is /ˈfyksja/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ABehrens ( talk • contribs) 00:53, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Good question. All I ca add is that my wife who is an avid amateur Fuchsia grower in the UK, together with the retail specialists that she uses, all pronounce the word in English as Foo-she-ah but run almost together as two syllables. MartUK2012 ( talk) 03:02, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Apologies, I now see that I posted in answer to a different question. This is talking about original, not current pronunciation. Could someone help me fix this error, please? MartUK2012 ( talk) 03:06, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
The article's link misspells Fuchsia "fuschia". How to fix that? 184.96.164.180 ( talk) 03:33, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
I deleted the pronunciation respelling (PR). I find the PR in this case to be particularly illogical and ugly, because it use <ew> for /ju:/ when <ew> would logically represent /ɛʊ ~ eʊ/ (if such a diphthong were to occur in English). People know how to pronounce the name anyway. Okay?-- Solomonfromfinland ( talk) 15:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

A number of spelling mistakes are present in some of the pages referenced by this article, including one by the BBC ! For the guidance of editors, it may help you to know that they were named after Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566). If you can remember " Fuchs ", then simply add "ia" pronounced "ee-yah", the spelling becomes self-evident. MartUK2012 ( talk) 02:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
