Thespasia macrophylla, Blume (T. lampas, Dabz.). This is a small bush common to the tropical jungles of India, Burma, and Ceylon. In Watt's "Dictionary of the Economic Products of India" there is no mention of the use of this plant as a dyestuff, but, on the other hand, the capsules and flowers of the allied T. populnea (Soland) are stated to give a yellow dye.

According to Perkin (Chem. Soc. Trans., 1909, 95, 1859) tne flowers of the T. macrophylla yield quercetin and some quantity of protocatechuic acid.

With mordanted woollen cloth the flowers produce fairly good shades, but are in no way superior to the better-known Indian natural yellow dyestuffs.
