Indian plant to supply pulp for paper making discovered
A new material from a largely unknown plant, Hedychian coronarium, could replace rags as a pulp source. Native to India and found from the Himalayas to Ceylon and Malacca, it grows in varied terrains. In Brazil near Morretes a large tract could yield up to 50,000 tons of dry fiber annually, potentially saving forests and preserving newspaper stock.
