A substance called Oadul is obtained in India from Sterculia villosa, and manu- 

 factured into ropes of excellent quality. From the bark of Sterculia guttata a cloth 

 is made in Malabar. — Hooker. 



From the fibre of Adansonia digitata the Changallas and Chohos, in whose 

 country the tree is common, manufacture caps and hoods. The latter, which are 

 waterproof, are used as articles of dress, and as drinking-vessels. Cordage and 

 sashes are also prepared from this substance. — Ach. Richard.
