The seed hair obtained from the plant known as the " cotton tree," belonging to the Bombacea; family. The fibre is known as Vegetable Down or Bombax Cotton. It grows in tropical countries. The fibre is soft, rather weak, of white to a yellowish-brown colour, and is lustrous. It is not used by itself for spinning, but is sometimes mixed with ordinary cotton. It is chiefly used as a wadding material. The fibre does not grow directly from the seed as ordinary cotton, but originates at the inner side of the seed-capsule. There are several varieties of plants producing vegetable down, as follows: Brazil - Bombax heptaphyllum; Bombax ceiba. The product is known as ceiba or Paina buifa cotton. South Asia and Africa - B. malabaricum. Known in India as Simal cotton or Red Silk cotton. Venezuela - B. cumanensis, giving a product known as Lana del tamber or Lana vejetale. Brazil - B. Villosum; B. pubescens. South America - B. carolinum. West Africa - B. Phodognaphalon. Known as wild kapok. South Asia and East Indies - B. Pentandrum. This is the kapok of commerce.

A plant that grows in East India, Siam, Cochin China, Japan, China and elsewhere. The stem bears broad oval leaves, the upper side being smooth and green, while the under side is covered with a white woolly down. The fibre is 4-in. to 5-in. long and very strong. In its wild state it is known as Rhea and is found in almost impenetrable masses. The plant is the Baehmeria or stingless nettle and the leaves are white felted underneath; hence the name " White Ramie " sometimes given to the fibre (see Ramie). Yarns spun from this fibre are very strong, whitish in colour and lustrous (see Textile Fibres)
