Aristea minor Hort.
I can find no record of Aristea minor in the botanical literature. It is probably a form of Aristea capitata (L.) Ker-Gawl. which see, possibly a smaller form. The only reference to this name I can find is in a list of plants suitable for landscaping, included in a Zambian web site but with no further information.

No data.
History at Camden Park
The only record in the Macarthur papers is a handwritten note in an 1850 catalogue held at the Mitchell Library, Sydney. [MP A2947A]. This plant was certainly grown in the gardens.
