RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, Eric F et al. Most used promising dyeing plants in La Libertad Region, Peru. Arnaldoa [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.1, pp.311-332. ISSN 1815-8242.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22497/arnaldoa.241.24114.

We present the 26 most used promising species of dyeing plants in the region of La Libertad, Peru. The study was based on the review of herbarium material (F, HUT and MO), the determination of specialists and on the comparison with the species documented in official studies of the Peruvian flora. For each species it is considered: common name(s) if it has, examined material (exsiccatae), uses and conservation status. Four endemic species to Peru have been identified (Dicliptera hookeriana Nees, Coreopsis senaria S.F. Blake & Sherff, Berberis buceronis J.F. Macbr., Daphnopsis weberbaueri Domke). In general, the species are used by the Andean inhabitants to dye their clothes and belongings of their daily life with different shades.
