King M. J., Vincent J. F. V. 1996. Static and dynamic fracture properties of the leaf of New Zealand flax Phormium tenax (Phormiaceae: Monocotyledones). Proceedings of the Royal Society London. B263: 521-527.
Notes
The mechanical and fracture properties of the leaf are almost totally dictated by its high content of stiff, strong fibres, which are orientated parallel along the leaf.
