Hibiscus Tiliaceus
L.
Lilnden hibiscus (E); Algondoncillo (P); Majagua (S); Mahoe (P) (Fig. 166). The flowers, attractive to bees, and young leaves serve as a potherb. Boiled in milk, the flowers are supposed to be good for earache. The bark furnishes good cordage that is unusual in being stronger when wet. It is used for making barkcloth, hammocks, mats, and rope. The wood is good for twirlstick fires.
