Corchorus capsularis
Species of flowering plant / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corchorus capsularis (also known as patsun), commonly known as white jute,[2] is a shrub species in the family Malvaceae. It is one of the sources of jute fibre, considered to be of finer quality than fibre from Corchorus olitorius, the main source of jute. The leaves are used as a foodstuff and the leaves, unripe fruit and the roots are used in traditional medicine.[3]
