manila hemp
Manila hemp is a type of buff-colored fiber obtained from ''Musa textilis'', a relative of edible bananas, which is also called Manila hemp〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USDA GRIN Taxonomy )〕 as well as abacá. It is mostly used for pulping for a range of uses, including speciality papers. It was once used mainly to make manila rope,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manila hemp )〕 but this is now of minor importance. Manila envelopes and manila paper take their name from this fibre.〔
It is not actually hemp, but named so because hemp was long a major source of fiber, and other fibers were sometimes named after it. The name refers to the capital of the Philippines, one of the main producers of Manila hemp.〔
The hatmaking straw made from Manila hemp is called ''Tagal'' or ''Tagal straw''.
