"Ramie, do you think I did wrong to refuse having the children down?"

Only a small percentage of the ramie produced is available on the international market.

Here, in this terminal, he and Ramie had nearly been killed.

Ramie cast a bitter look at him, as she came in.

It's only that everybody thinks of you and Ramie in the same breath, almost.

"But that looks like the ruins of a city," Ramie said.

She went back with him to the seat Ramie had vacated.

"Nothing to block it between here and the poles," Ramie said.

"I wonder where the rest of the statue is," Ramie said.

Ramie looked up from her place at table be- tween the older children.

"Ramie made it back all right with the kids?"

She had been his first teacher when he was eight years old, but she looked little older than Ramie.

Ramie didn't even spend time asking questions or offering help.

Ramie came up to him, jauntily slipping her arm through his.

One species, ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is an important fibre crop.

Boehmeria nivea (Ramie)

Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a flowering plant in the nettle family Urticaceae, native to eastern Asia.

Bánh gai - made from the leaves of the "gai" tree (Boehmeria nivea) dried, boiled, ground into small pieces, then mixed with glutinous rice, wrapped in banana leaf.

The larvae feed on Fleurya capensis, Boehmeria nivea, Australina, Boehmeria, Pouzolzia, and Urtica species.

These fibres, and those of jute (Corchorus capsularis) and ramie (Boehmeria nivea, a nettle), are extremely soft and elastic and are especially well suited for the processing to textiles.
