The leaves are 8 feet to 10 feet long and about 12-in. wide, and yield about 10 per cent by weight of fibre. -

14 Nanduti
A very fine lace made of pita fibre in South America. Sometimes cotton is used, and very occasionally silk. It is a native cottage industry. Nanduti is used almost entirely locally for shawls, handkerchiefs, mantillas, etc. It is made in small squares or fancy circle joined together, the design is laid out on cardboard and the lace made on this with the needle. The word is said to be of native Indian (Guaranian) origin meaning " spider web." -
15 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) -
16 Hemp
A fibre obtained from the stalk of the plant " Cannibis sativa." It is inferior in quality to flax, but stronger and easily bleached. It is grown in India, Italy, Russia, Poland and many other countries. The better grades are used in the manufacture of carpets. It is obtained in a similar manner to flax by retting, breaking, crushing, cutting and hackling. It is not rotted by water and is much used for ropes, sailcloth, etc. (see common Hemp). Hemp Varieties - Among the different varieties of hemp appearing in trade are the following: - Ambari (or brown) hemp, Bengal (or Bombay) hemp, Blackfellow's hemp, Bowstring (Africa), Bowstring (Florida), Calcutta hemp (jute), Cebu, Colorado River, Cretan, Cuban, False hemp (America), False sisal hemp. Giant hemp (China), Hayti, Ife, Indian, Jubbulpore (Madras), Manila, New Zealand hemp (or flax), Pangane, Pita, Pua (India), Queensland, Rangoon, Roselle, Sisal, Sunn, Swedish, Tampico, Water, Wild, Italian (see under each name) ————————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. The fibre is generally known as Muka. -
