A tropical and subtropical leguminous plant with long stems, narrow leaves, and bright yellow flowers, Crotalaria juncea, widely cultivated, originally in India, for its bast fibre and as a green manure; (also) the durable fibre of this plant, used for cordage, sacking, paper, etc. In early use also: †the plant kenaf, Hibiscus cannabinus, or its fibre (obsolete).

1801 Ann. Reg. 1800 (Otridge ed.) Chron. 38/1 The new species of hemp called sun, the produce of Bengal..has turned out nearly equal to our own rope.

1813 W. Milburn Oriental Commerce II. 210 At Comercolly there are two species of sunn: the best is called phool, the other boggy: the former grows about four feet high, and produces the strongest, whitest, and most durable kind of sunn.

1836 J. Lindley Nat. Syst. Bot. 96 Sida abutila is said to be cultivated in China, as we know Hibiscus cannabinus, or Sun, is in India, as a substitute for hemp.

1894 Rep. Indian Hemp Drugs Comm. v. 67 Dr. Prain..has traced the contempt in which the hemp cultivator is held to the original motive of the cultivation, viz., the production of fibre, and points out that the cultivators of other fibres, such as sann (Crotolaria), are similarly regarded.

1910 Mem. Dept. Agric. India 3 177 This rotation is advantageous, because Sann is a leguminous crop.

1950 Econ. Bot. 4 384 (table) Stem, or bast, fibers... Sunn. Crotalaria juncea. India. Textiles.

2005 C. R. Clement in G. Prance & M. Nesbitt Cultural Hist. Plants ii. 299 Although sunn is not as strong as hemp, it is second to ramie in wet strength, resistance to salt-water organisms, and to mildew and rot.

General attributive, esp. in sunn hemp.
