ARISTOTE'HA. (In memory of the great

This genus has been placed among Horn ali ads, 

 >r Philadelphiads, by some botanists; but Dr. 

 liindky says (Veg. King., 371), it has most affinity 

 o this order. A. Ma'cqui produces edible berries, 

 >f a dark purple colour, and wine is made from 

 hem in Chili. It is a hardy evergreen shrub. 

 Layers in autumn, and cuttings in April, in sand, 

 under a hand-light. Common, sandy soil.
