Thursday Trivia

Here is a picture of the flowers and leaves of a fairly small tree. It is not native to the US, although they have finally gotten some to grow in Florida. Its common name comes from something made from it.

Hint, the product made from it is normally associated with Asian influences.

Hint

The product that is made from this does not look like wood, although it uses wood. The name of the product is two words, one of which is something that you eat, but not related to "tree" or "wood". The other is a generic name for the basic class of what is made.

Rice Paper?

no,

The name refers to a food, but it is just in the name and you would not eat it.
