Plant resources of south-east asia 3 : Dye and tannin-producing plants

---

Prosea, short for 'Plant Resources of South-East Asia', is an international programme focused on South-East Asia. Its purpose is to make available the wealth of dispersed knowledge on plant resources for education, extension, research and industry through a computerized data bank and an illustrated multivolume handbook. A thorough knowledge of plants resources is essential for human life and plays a key role in ecologically balanced land-use systems. Extensive information on the plants growing in the region is needed to enable the plant resources of each country to be used optimally. A large international team of experts is preparing the texts on particular species or genera, which are being published in commodity groups. All taxa are treated in a similar manner with details on uses, botany, ecology, agronomy or silviculture, genetic resources, breeding, prospects and literature.

This volume covers the plants in South-East Asia that yield dyes and tannins. The former, current and potential future roles in local industries and culture is discussed. Interest in using vegetable dyes and tannins instead of synthetic materials is growing because of concern for the environment and human health. The plants described include annatto, henna, indigo, myrobalans, black wattle, gambier, bakau, soga, logwood, flame-of-the-forest, dye-yam, gamboge tree and night jasmine.
