The use of natural dyes has been rapidly increasing due to the enforcement of strict environmental standards by the Environmental and Pollution Control Board of many countries in response to allergic reactions and toxics of synthetic dyes. The present study documented the data related to the diversity of natural dye yielding plants in the district of Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, India. A total of 51 species belonging to 45 genera and 30 families were recorded as the source of natural dyes. Fabaceae (8 species) is found to be dominant followed by Anacardiaceae (5 species), Rosaceae (4 species), Combretaceae and Euphorbiaceae (3 species each), Berberidaceae, Lythraceae, Oleaceae and Rutaceae (2 species each) and remaining 21 families were represented by having one species each. Among the plant parts used, fruits and flowers were the maximum sources of natural dyes contributing 25.49% followed by barks (23.52%), leaves (17.64%), roots (11.76%), wood (5.88%), rhizomes, latex and gall (1.96% each).
