A genus of tropical trees native to East Asia, producing paper mulberry and used for making traditional bark cloth.
Named after Pierre Broussonet, an 18th-century French botanist and naturalist, following Linnaean naming conventions.
Paper made from broussonetia bark cloth (called 'tapa') was used for thousands of years across the Pacific—proving ancient peoples had global-scale trade and technology!
