Vegetable fibers are classified according to their source ia plants as follows (/) the bast or stem fibers, which form the fibrous bundles ia the inner bark (phloem or bast) of the plant stems, are often referred to as soft fibers for textile use (2) the leaf fibers, which mn lengthwise through the leaves of monocotyledonous plants, are also referred to as hard fibers and (J) the seed-hair fibers, the source of cotton (qv), are the most important vegetable fiber. There are over 250,000 species of higher plants however, only a very limited number of species have been exploited for commercial uses (less than 0.1%). The commercially important fibers are given ia Table 1 (1,2).

Aspergillus parasiticus is an endophyte isolated from the inner bark of the redwood tree. Sequoia sempervirens (Taxodiaceae). Previously, several sequoaitones active in the brine shrimp toxicity assay were isolated from this fungal strain and more recently four new sequoaitones C — F (49—52) were isolated and found to be toxic to brine shrimp with LD50 of260 p,M, 1300 xM, 640 xM, and 260 p.M, respectively. ...

The term blast fiber is applied to fibers obtained from the inner bark of flax, hemp, jute, ramie, etc. They contain a considerable amt of cellulose and can be nitrated to NC. However, these substances are more valuable as fabric materials than as sources of NC. Ramie has been used in France for prepn of pure NC Ref J.T.Marsh F.C.Wood, "An Introduction to the Chemistry of Cellulose",Chapman Hall, London( 1945), 1,3 12... 

Cloth made from the inner bark (secondary phloem) of various plants is found throughout many of the tropical regions of the world. Although the origins of its production are unknown, they have been chronicled as early as the 6th-century B.C. in China (5). The bark cloth of the Pacific, more commonly referred to by the Polynesian word "tapa", has been produced from the inner bark of various species of trees of the genera Broussonetia R.
