This is a handsome, useful and interesting plant - as a house plant it will be much admired for its magnificent felt-covered leaves, orange-green when young and whitish-green when mature. Indoors it will attain 3 to 6 ft. in height and form multi-stemmed clumps. The pith obtained from inside the stems is used to make Chinese rice-paper. And as if that were not enough, the plant has been used to stimulate the secretion of milk in nursing mothers. Packet of 18 seeds.
