NEW ZEALAND FLAX, or HEMPThe fibre obtained from the Phormium Tenax plant which is a native of New Zealand and South Australia. The fibre is very white, soft and flexible and has a high lustre. It differs from most hemp fibres in that it is obtained from the leaf and not the bast. It is not so fine or regular as true flax, nor does it spin as well, but it is superior to either flax or hemp in its tenacity. It is largely used for cordage, twine and floor-matting, through the best fibre is woven into a duck fabric closely resembling linen. There are numerous local names for this plant - The common variety of the lowland swamps is Harakeke, that of the higher ground is Paritanewha, and the best variety is called Taihore.

13 Indian Okra
A bast fibre obtained from the Hibiscus Esculentus of India. It is very white, smooth and silky and is fairly strong. Used for cordage and bagging. The fibre is more brittle and less strong than New Zealand flax which it somewhat resembles. It is sometimes used in India as a jute adulterant. -
14 Marine Fibre
Poseidonia Australia, obtained from the bottom of Spencer's Gulf in South Australia. The fibre is not very strong and is brittle when dry. It is believed to be New Zealand flax submerged and rotted in salt water. It has good affinity for basic dye-stuffs, but acid, salt and sulphur dyes produce poor results. This fibre is a recent discovery and has been experimented with as a wool substitute for cheap clothing and rugs, but no satisfactory results have been obtained as yet. -

17 Bast Fibres
The fibres obtained from the inner bark of flax, hemp, jute, ramie and other. plants and shrubs. True bast fibres are those of linen, hemp and jute, where the fibre occurs in the bast itself. All other bast fibres do not occur in the bast, but in single bundles in the leaf structure of the plant, and should be designated as sclerenchymous fibres. The bast fibres may be roughly divided into four classes with reference to the comparative sizes of the cell-wall and inner canal or lumen: - 1. The canal takes up about four-fifths of the diameter of the fibre: Ramie and China Grass. 2. The canal is about two-thirds of the fibre diameter: Hemp, Pita and Sunn Hemp, Pineapple Fibre. 3. The canal is mostly less than half the fibre diameter: Manila Hemp, Ambari Hemp, New Zealand Hemp, Yucca. 4. The canal is often reduced to a mere ???ine: Linen - (Mathews) -
18 Fibres
The textile fibres of commerce are very numerous. They are usually placed in " three natural classes, vegetable, animal and mineral. The rayon filaments so far produced are all vegetable. " Vegetable fibres can be classified as follows: - Seed fibres, growing from the seeds or seed-capsules of certain plants, as cotton, Bombax, Asselepias, etc. Stem fibres, growing in the bast of certain plants, as flax, hemp, jute, etc. Leaf fibres, occurring in the leaves of certain plants, including New Zealand hemp, Manila hemp, etc. Fruit fibres, of which the sole member worth mentioning is the cocoanut fibre. Artificial fibres, represented by viscose, cellulose acetate, cuprammonium and nitrocellulose rayon. The chief fibres in the animal class are wool, silk, and the various kinds of animal hair such as camel, llama, angora, rabbit, horse, etc. The chief member of the mineral group is asbestos, a substance that resists the action of fire. Gold, silver and copper used in the making of tinsel yarns are not fibres as they do not require to be spun. Cellulose-Acetata Rayon - Filaments composed of an acetic ester of cellulose coagulated or solidified from its solution. Cuprammonium Rayon - Filaments composed of regenerated cellulose which has been coagulated or solidified from a solution of cellulose in ammoniacal copper oxide. Nitro-cellulose Rayon (Chardonnet) - Filaments composed of regenerated or denitrated cellulose which has been coagulated or solidified from a solution of nitrated cellulose. Viscose Rayon - Filaments composed of a regenerated cellulose which has been coagulated or solidified from a solution of cellulose xanthate. The preceding four definitions are proposed by the American Society for Testing Materials, Corn. D-13
