Abstract: Twenty-four different plant species belonging to 19 families were analyzed in the current investigation. Plants were ranked according to the felting power, suitability of fibers and strength of the fibers. Among monocots, Caryota urens (garden palm) and Eucalyptus camadulensis, in dicotyledonous plant species had the strongest fibers. Caryota urens (garden palm) in monocots while Terminalia arjuna in dicots had high felting power. Cluster analysis had separated out the Agave americana in monocot which was significantly apart from Saccharum spontaneum, on the basis of derived characters like Slenderness ratio, Runkle ratio and Coefficient of suppleness. Phoenix dactylifera was dominant due to its great fiber length and lowest Runkle ratio. In this investigation, it was concluded that different plant species can be used for different purposes and evolution does not necessarily involve all the qualities of fibers at the same time.
