Excerpt from Report on Natal Botanic Gardens, and Colonial Herbarium for the Year 1903-1904 It must be remembered that Rhea is not an annual, like jute and cotton. It is a perennial; and once planted goes on giving from three to four crops a year for many years in succession. All that it requires in the way of cultivation is that it be planted very close together; he irrigated in the very dry months of the year like any other field crop, and that the leaves stripped from the stems be given back to the soil in the shape of green manure.

The bark can be dried and shipped in the form of ribbons; and, indeed, this is the way in which most Rhea mills require the fibre stripped, they having methods of degumming and finishing the fibre for spinning which are trade secrets. There is a lot of nonsense written about Rhea or Ramie which requires to be brushed aside. We write from a practical knowledge of the subject. Crescentia cajete, Linn., Calabash tree. - The seed vessel is like a gourd and is used as the natives use the calabash; the pulp is medicinal. Our plant was put out in 1887 but has not yet borne fruit, but a tree in the ground of Mr. J. D. Ballance has fruited, and a specimen is in our museum.
