The palmetto (_Sabal palmetto_, Walt.) seems to have been an article of commerce as it was used by the Winnebago and the Iroquois, north of its northern limit of distribution. It was also used by the Cherokee. The Winnebago used the fiber in the production of stiff cords for their bags. In three bags in the American Museum the stiff cords are made from this material (50-7531). For burden straps the Iroquois used this fiber to produce stiff strong cords which were covered with cotton or other soft fiber (AMNH 50.1-1954). The Cherokee used it in the manufacture of basketry (AMNH 50.1-2141). BROMELIACEAE, J. St. Hil. (Pineapple Family) This Florida moss (_Tillandsia usneoides_, L.) was found in specimens from the Southern States only. The Koasati and the people who built certain mounds in Florida used it frequently. A specimen in the United States National Museum from the Parish Mound, Number 2, in Florida, consisted of a bunch of loose material. The Koasati material is in the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, and is represented by fibers from a blanket and threads on a spindle (1-8551). DRACAENACEAE, Link. (Yucca Family) Yucca (_Yucca arkansana_, Trelease) was encountered in one specimen from the Arkansas Bluff culture in a bundle of loose fiber (MAIHF 11-7429). Yucca (_Yucca filamentosa_, L.) was found once in a heavy cord made by the cave and shelter people of Ohio (OSHAM 332-42) _Nolina georgiana_, Michx., was found in two specimens, a moccasin (OSHAM 332) and a bristle-like fiber from the Spiro Mound (2718-K, Trowbridge Collection). It is possible that this plant may have been used very frequently in objects from caves and rock-shelters. It was not always convenient, however, to examine complete objects so that some occurrences of its use may have been overlooked, especially since these people commonly mixed several fibers. In the specimen in question, for example (OSHAM 332), _Nolina georgiana_ and _Eryngium yuccaefolium_ were identified. Similar combinations of fibers from widely different plants have also been noted; frequently, as in the example cited, a local plant was mixed with one found at a great distance. JUNIPERACEAE, Horan (Juniper Family) Red cedar (_Juniperus virginiana_, L.) was encountered in only one specimen, a bag made by the Potawatomi Indians (AMNH 50.1-7096). POACACEAE, R. Br. (Grass Family) The grass family was the most commonly and widely used of any of the monocotyledonous families. Big blue stem grass (_Andropogon furcatus_, Muhl.) was one of the major fibrous plants used by the cave and rock-shelter peoples of Ohio in the construction of coarsely woven articles, such as rope and moccasins. It was commonly used without preliminary treatment, but was simply twisted or braided into strands. The specimens examined were from the Ohio State Historical and Archaeological Museum. A typical example of the use of this fiber is in a woven moccasin (OSHAM 898-1).
