A single magazine page from Harper's New Monthly Magazine (1870) on rheea, or China grass (ramie), a fibre plant of the nettle family. It reports the Indian government's $25,000 prize, announced January 11, 1870, for a machine that can separate the fibre from the stem and bark cheaply. It also notes that rheea and ramie both come from Boehmeria tenacissima and that ramie was being distributed in the United States.
