SUNN HEMP
The bast fibre of a plant (Crotalaria Juncea) which is largely used for cord and rope making. The fibre is obtained from the plant by retting in a similar way to flax. It is of better quality than jute, lighter in colour and greater strength and more durable. It is very similar to hemp in appearance. Also known as Conkance, Indian, brown and Madras hemp. It grows in India, the Malay Islands and Australia.
