Deppea splendens, or alternately Csapodya splendens, the golden fuchsia (in the family Rubiaceae) is an extinct in the wild species after its habitat was cleared for farmland. It ranges from 12–15 feet (3.7–4.6 m) tall appearing as a small tree or large shrub. It was once native to Chiapas, Mexico. It is a horticultural plant. It bears gold and pink flowers.
