Poor Leonhard Fuchs! Everyone always misspells the plant genus named after him. Just remember:
It's Fuchsia for Fuchs!

He was a 16th c. German botanist and physician "whose botanical work Historia Stirpium (1542) is a landmark in the development of natural history because of its organized presentation, the accuracy of its drawings and descriptions of plants, and its glossary."
