I have an unknown variegated fuchsia (leaves green centre, white margins
with pink tinge - red slender flower with magenta centre) It has thrown a
sport which has green leaves with red veins (cutting just coming into
flower)
Is this a known habit of a known variety or have I got something new?

Failing that sounds as if it is reverting to its origional type,

You might have 'Gracilis Tricolor'. This does in my experience tend to
vary, producing green shouts, or shoots without the pink tinge. But I
don't recall a variant with red-veined leaves. (Looking at my cuttings,
there's some red on the underside of the mid-rib.)

It looks like F. Sunray to me, and what you have is a stem that has
reverted.

Ray suggests you have a look at Fuchsia magellanica versicolor. We
have that and there is considerable variation in its leaf markings. It
has red veins and the younger growth, in particular, has very pink
leaves. Some of our has green bits in it too and apparenntly it is
known for a good deal of variation. This is a pic of ours which is a
very mature plant:

I think I prefer Dave's choice of Sunray, but why is the reverted one not
grown in it's own right?
