 Agaveae (also certain other fibre plants) or to their products.

 others Yaxci, Yaxqui &c. 



A cotton tree : the down from the capsules is used for stuffing pillow* 

 &c. 



See Yashqui. 



Of. the following. 



Of. the following and the preceding, also Enugakalabanda, etc.

This is given as Yucay, white ' and is followed by ' Yuccay, red ' 

 without any clue to the origin of the latter. There is evidently 

 some mistake. None of the Indian Aristolochias are known to 

 have yielded fibre, while YeTcTca, YekJcada, Yokada, &c., are names 

 of the well known Yercum' (a Calotropis). See the next also. 



Yuccada fibre* sent from Hyderabad was placed among 'un- 

 classified barks ' in 1857, but ' Yuccada Naru ' from Bangalore 

 was referred to Yucca gloriosa. YakTcada Naru is given in the 

 Mysore list of paper fibres (in Liotard ' Yeklcada naru'). True 

 Yucca and Agave have been a good deal confused in S. India.
