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 whit ...

Hoheria
''Hoheria'' is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. All are endemic to New Zealand. The genus name is a latinization of the Māori language name, ''houhere''. That name, as well as lacebark and ribbonwood, are often used as common names. The name ''lacebark'' comes from the lace-like fibrous inner bark layer. ''Hoheria'' are mostly evergreen, with ''Hoheria glabrata'' (mountain ribbonwood) a deciduous species. They are large shrubs or small trees growing tall, bearing large quantities of fragrant, 5-petalled white flowers in summer or autumn. The flowers are attractive to butterflies. They are borne in axils on jointed peduncles and produce hard, dry seed capsules. The leaves are serrate to dentate and ovate to lanceolate in shape. Juvenile foliage may persist on young plants for several years, and may have a metallic cast. Some species are cultivated in New Zealand and Great Britain as ornamental plants. '' H. sexstylosa'' withstands temperatur ...

Brachychiton
''Brachychiton'' (kurrajong, bottletree) is a genus of 31 species of trees and large shrubs, native to Australia (the centre of diversity, with 30 species), and New Guinea (one species). Fossils from New South Wales and New Zealand are estimated to be 50 million years old, corresponding to the Paleogene. They grow to 4 – 30m tall, and some are dry-season deciduous. Several species (though not all) are pachycaul plants with a very stout stem for their overall size, used to store water during periods of drought. The leaves show intraspecific variation and generally range from entire to deeply palmately lobed with long slender leaflet-like lobes joined only right at the base. Their sizes range from 4 – 20 cm long and wide. All species are monoecious with separate male and female flowers on the same plant. The flowers have a bell-shaped perianth consisting of a single series of fused lobes which is regarded as a calyx despite being brightly coloured in most species. The fe ...
