Abstract: Yucca gloriosa is an evergreen shrub with common name “Spanish dragger.” It was collected from the Nilgiris hills. The fiber obtained from Y. gloriosa leaves is used for making ropes, baskets and mats. So this study shows that factors such as length, diameter, density, linear density, water sorption, lignin, cellulose estimation, load at break, extension at break, tenacity at break, tensile strain at break and tensile stress at break of …
