Types of Chrozophora

Dyer's litmus

Dyer's litmus (Chrozophora tinctoria) is a branching plant that comes from Europe, northern Africa, and much of Asia. Its surface is covered with fuzzy white hair, giving it an ashy green color. Ancient purple dyes were often made from dyer's litmus (earning it the name dyer's croton), but the actual details of the dye were only recently rediscovered.
