Fuchsia encliandra is a species of shrub that grows up to 2 meters (6½ feet) tall. Simple leaves with smooth edges arise opposite one another at stem nodes.[2] Flowers are either male or female, sometimes plants bearing flowers of only one sex, but other times the sexes mixed on one plant -- they are "subdioecious."[3] It occurs from central Mexico south into Nicaragua. The species grows in the mountains,[2] primarily in the seasonally dry tropical type of biome.[1]
