The scientific name of ramie is Boehmeria nivea.
Ramie denim is made with the plant fibre ramie as well as man made fibres like polyester or spandex. The natural fibre gives it a softer feels and reduces wrinkling. The fabric is also stain resistant, absorbent and doesn't lose its shape.
I believe it is because ramie is a brittle fiber. Also it depends on whether it is wet spun or dry spun. Wet spun being "softer".
