The term "genus Fuchsia" is strictly a scientific, taxonomic classification. Its defining characteristic, as noted in the reference, is the presence of pendulous tetramerous flowers—meaning the showy, often bi-colored flowers hang downward and have their floral parts (sepals and petals) in sets of four. This distinguishes it from other plant genera.
