fibrous roots of a tree (as of the banyan).] 1. 
A plant of the fiber-producing genus Corohorus, 
natural order Tiliacea?; chiefly, one of the two 
species C. capsularis and C. olitorius, which 
alone furnish the jute-fiber of commerce. The 
latter is called Jews'-mallow, a name also occasionally 
given to the former. C. capsularis is the larger, and has

short globular pods, while those of C. olitorius are elon- 
gated and cylindrical ; but there is no clear difference in 
the quality of their product. The two species are native 
and cultivated in Bengal, whence comes the great mass 
of the jute of commerce, 60,000 tons being exported per 
year. Jute likes a warm, moist climate. It has been in- 
troduced into Egypt, and into the southern United States, 
where its success appears to be hindered only by the want 
of a sufficiently cheap means of separating the fiber. 
2. The fiber of thisplant. It is obtained by macera- 
tion from the inner bark. It is of fair tenacity, glossy, 
and susceptible of so fine division as to mix well with 
silk, and can take on a bright and permanent coloring. 
Hitherto, however, its commercial use has been in the 
manufacture of coarse fabrics, such as gunny-bags, for 
which it is consumed in vast quantities. It is of inferior 
value for ropes, not enduring moisture well. The refuse 
makes good paper. Dundee, in Scotland, is the great 
seat of jute-manufacture. American jute (improperly 
so called), the velvetleaf, Abutilon Avicennce, belonging to 
the Malvacece; introduced from India, and now too com- 
mon as a cornfield weed. Its fiber is pronounced equal to 
jute, and its economical importance seems to depend on 
the adaptation of suitable machinery. Bastard jute, 
Hibiscus cannabinus, the fiber of which is inferior both to 
jute and sunn-hemp, and, with the better U. esculentus, is 
used to adulterate jute. Jute-butts or -cuttings, the 
woody stump of the jute-plant, the fiber of which is used 
for inferior purposes.
