Notes: | Label source: Sample of fibre grown in the Zoutpansberg district of the Transvaal (6.6.10) I have compared the sample with a specimen of the fibre of Asclepias physocarpa. It does not appear to be the same as this, nor do I think it likely to be one of, the Asclepiadaceae, Moraceae is perhaps more probable L.A.B. 22.i.12. Chewed by native to make pliable and plaited. Sample of fibre and stem grown in Lydenburg district Transvaal |
