Abstract

District Kathua laying at 32-17’ N to 32-55’ N latitude and 75-7’ E to 74-10’ E longitude is known as gateway of JandK and exhibit marked variation in topography coupled with altitudinal range and climate. The area is characterised by varied type of vegetation. Survey of literature revealed that work has been done on ethno botany and plant diversity of Jammu and Kashmir as well as the study area but enlisting of dye yielding plantshas been done for one district only. Therefore the purpose of the present study was to document the dye yielding plant species and associated knowledge from the study area. 64 dye yielding plant species belonging to 43 families were reported from the study area. The correct identity of reported plant species along family, vernacular name, habit and part used has been documented in the present work. A wealth of plant resources for natural dyes exists in the study area but most of it is underutilised. Present work is aimed to open new ways for future studies on various aspects of reported taxa and initiate extensive exploration in other districts of the state.
