A layered fibrous structure exhibiting a basis weight of from about 10 to about 120 g/m2, wherein the fibrous structure comprises greater than 50% by weight on a dry fiber basis of pulp fibers, wherein greater than 0% but less than 20% by weight on a dry fiber basis of the pulp fibers are softwood fibers, wherein the pulp fibers comprise trichome fibers, wherein one or more of the trichome fibers are derived from a plant in the Stachys genus, and wherein one or more of the trichome fibers are derived from a plant Stachys byzantina.
A layered fibrous structure exhibiting a basis weight of from about 10 to about 120 g/m2, wherein the fibrous structure comprises greater than 50% by weight on a dry fiber basis of pulp fibers comprising trichome fibers, wherein greater than 0% but less than 20% by weight on a dry fiber basis of the pulp fibers are softwood fibers, and wherein the fibrous structure is void of hardwood fibers.
A layered fibrous structure exhibiting a basis weight of from about 10 to about 120 g/m2, wherein the fibrous structure comprises greater than 50% by weight on a dry fiber basis of pulp fibers comprising trichome fibers, wherein greater than 0% but less than 20% by weight on a dry fiber basis of the pulp fibers are softwood fibers, and wherein the weight ratio of softwood fibers to non-softwood fibers within the fibrous structure is less than 1:4.
