No. 1174. 
ARISTFA CAPITATA. 
Class. Order, 
TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was introduced some years since 
from the Cape of Good Hope, of which it 
is a native. With us its beautiful flowers 
are produced in July and August: the stem 
is from two to three feet in height. 
It requires the greenhouse, and should 
be potted in sandy loam, mixed with peat 
earth. It increases itself by offsets. If the 
pot is placed in a pan of water during the 
flowering season, it improves the blossoms 
very much.
