Urena lobata

Urena and Abutilon. These are less important vegetable fibers of a jute-like nature. Urena lobata (Cadillo) of the mallow family (Malvaceae) is a perennial that grows in Zaire and Brazil to a height of 4—5 m with stems 10—18 mm in diameter. Because of a lignified base, the stems are cut 20 cm above the ground. The plants are defoflated in the field and retted similarly to jute and kenaf. The retted material is stripped and washed and, in some cases.

Patchouli oil is adulterated to a certain extent with the oU from other leaves which are fraudulently packed with patchouli leaves, such as basil leaves and the leaves of a Malayan plant, known as purpulut (Urena lobata). The leaves of Hyptis suaveoUns are also used as an adulterant. Sassafras (or heavy camphor oil) is sometimes found as an adulterant, as well as cubeb oil, cedar-wood oil, and —rarely— petroleum.
