Havoha, a tree with beautifully cut leaves. Also a shrub, the fibre of which is used in making cloth, cord, and rope. Ambalavao, South Madagascar, Africa. Paper is produced for writing and decorative purposes, called "antemoro paper" (or "antaimoro paper"). Antemoro paper is skillfully made from crunched Havoha barks from the eastern forests. Several species of the Rhopalocarpus genus are called Havoha in the native Malagasy. Paper mulberry or black mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) may be used as an alternative in paper making in some areas.
