{{stub}}[[File:Oldenlandia umbellata L. - Flickr - lalithamba.jpg|thumb|right]]'''Oldenlandia umbellata''' is a small, annual plant. The plant is gathered from the wild for local use as a medicine and dye. It used to be an important source of a red dye before the large-scale production of synthetic dyes started at the end of the 19th Century. It was commonly gathered from the wild and was also at one time often cultivated as a dye plant.
