The other plant dyes have been giving me fits. I've done search after
search in every database, university and otherwise, and I'm coming up
blank for Vashma. Drives me crazy. I need a botanical name to nail it
down, and I'm not having a lot of luck. If I can get a week to myself
in the research library I might nail it.

Areca catechu is more fruitful when I hit the university searches
..... its an antidepressant in rats ........ was used by Bronze Age
inhabitants of Viet Nam ......... and I suppose I could look into
mutual interactions among ingredients of betel quid in inducing
genotoxicity on Chinese hamster ovary cells .... but ...hampster
ovaries are not my driving passion, and if I had hampsters, I wouldn't
offer them betel quid anyway ............ I digress. Sorry about that.

You can get cutch from Dharma Trading....... and woad is sorta indigo
lite.
