Lagetta lagetto
''Lagetta lagetto'' is a species of tree native to several Caribbean islands. It is called the lacebark or gauze tree because the inner bark is structured as a fine netting that has been used for centuries to make clothing as well as utilitarian objects like rope.〔
==Taxonomy==
''Lagetta lagetto'', the lacebark (sometimes: lace-bark) or gauze tree, is native to the islands of Jamaica, Cuba, and Hispaniola (in both Haiti and the Dominican Republic).〔 It was formerly known as ''L. lintearia''. It is best documented on Jamaica, although few specimens have been reported in recent decades, and it has not been collected at all on Cuba in recent years.〔 It gets its genus and current species name from its alternate common name of ''lagetto'' (a corruption of the Spanish word ''latigo'', or whip) on Jamaica.〔〔〔 It is known as ''laget à dentelle'' or ''bois dentelle'' on Haiti and ''daguilla'' or ''guanilla'' in the Dominican Republic and Cuba. It is also known in one part of western Jamaica as white bark.〔
''L. lagetto'' is the most widespread of the three known species of the ''Lagetta'' genus.〔 The two other species of ''Lagetta'' are both native to Cuba: ''L. valenzuelana'', the Valenzuela lacebark tree, and ''L. wrightiana'', the Wright lacebark tree.〔 Little is known about either species.
''Lagetta'' is not the only member of the family Thymelaeaceae to be used as a fiber source; others include ''Daphne'' species and ''Edgeworthia chrysantha'', both of which supply fiber for papermaking.
