Kleinhovia hospita. 



Exogen. Sterculiacece. A tree. 



The species is a low branching tree, a native of the Malay Archipelago, extending 

 eastward to the Solomon Isles. Its bruised leaves are said to exhale a perfume simi- 

 lar to that of the violet. The genus consists of but the one species. 



Fiber. — A specimen of the fiber was received through the Smithsonian Institution 

 in 1869, without data. It is similar in appearance to Ochroma, and of so slight 

 tenacity that it can only be mentioned as fibrous material. 



In the islands of the Indian Ocean the bark is used for making cordage and fish- 

 ing nets. It is customary for the people to plant this species near their rural habi- 

 tations for use in their agricultural pursuits, as it is adapted to all sorts of tying and 

 binding and to uses requiring long, pliant twigs. They are quite superior to Salix 

 for tying. (Manual Hoepli.)
