Warss is a yellow dye from a perennial plant cultivated in Yemen, identified usually as Memecylon tinctorium, Melastomaceae or sometimes Flemmingia rhodocarpus BAK, Leguminosae. According to Abū Ḥanīfa Al-Dīnawarī’s chapter on dyestuffs (165-7), it is found only in Yemen and there only, is cultivated. From various sources, he describes the best warss as bādira, from a young plant, the other type called ḥabas h because of some blackness in it; however, the ḥabas h gives pure yellow colour, while bādira can contain some redness in it.
