===Culture:=== The habitats we visited were much cooler than that where ''Butia capitata'' grows, due to the altitude of over 1000 meters. We visited in summer and whilst the temperature was over 30"C on the coast, the temperature in habitat was reminiscent of Northern Europe, with cloud and rain a normal occurrence. In winter the temperature drops to -3"C or -4"C in the location we visited, whereas the habitat of ''Butia capitata'' is largely frost free. This is surely the best Butia for a cool climate, having all the attributes necessary to make an excellent landscape palm, and being capable of much faster rates of growth in cooler conditions. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Butia_eriospatha02.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
