Collected by: Skeat.W.W in : Occasionally used as a sunshade. Made from the leaves of the palm called ' Kejing ' , whence the manufactured article also takes its name. Said to be better for driving rain than the ordinary Chinese, round umbrella, as they can be held up sideways(when held vertically)"
