Abstract: The present study mainly focuses on the Some Dyes yielding plants from central Narmada valley of Central India. As many as 150 species were screened for dye, out of these 34 species belonging to 29 genera and 22 families are presented in this research article. The botanical name, family, vernacular name and parts from which dye is obtained are described in this paper.
Keywords: Dyes, Plants, Central Narmada Region, Hoshangabad, India
