12 Cotton Grass
The downy bristles, or so-called fibres of the grass-like sedge - Eriophorum latifolium - which grows on the bogs and marshes of the hilly districts of England.

13 China Grass Or Nettle
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)Dictionary of the English textile terms > China Grass Or Nettle
