For more:
Growing on the mountain in Chaqingsongduo National #Nature Reserve in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China’s Sichuan Province, Chinese stellera is called “wolf poison plant” in #Chinese because it contains poisonous coumarin. However, it is a good thing for the Tibetans living here. Its rhizome is rich in bast fibers, a good material for papermaking. The stellera paper has been used in Tibetan communities for a long time and the technique has been passed on for more than 1,000 years.
