The mountain mahoe, a malvaceous plant, that
furnishes the beautiful lace-like bark called Cuba bast, imported
by nurserymen for tying their plants. It was at one time only seen
as employed in tying together bundles of genuine Havana cigars. It
forms a tree 40 feet or more in height, and yields a greenish-blue
timber, highly prized by cabinet-makers.
