Botanically known as Mallotus philippensis

It is a medium-sized ayurvedic tree that grows up to 25m in height. Also known as the monkey face tree. It has a smooth grey bark with slight wrinkles. The fruit covering the tree gives out a red dye that is used as a colourant as well. Trees are completely covered with fruits in the fruiting season.

The red granules covering the ripe capsules are used. They are separated by beating and shaking the fruits or stirring vigorously in water.

Kamala is mainly used for silk dyeing and less commonly for wool and cotton. It is a mordant dye and is highly recommended for use on textiles that have been pre-mordanted in an alkaline dye bath. Kamala, like annatto, is not soluble in water and has to be soaked in alcohol to extract the colour and to be used later in a dye bath. It gives beautiful golden yellows on cotton and brighter shades of yellow on silk and wool. 

* Also can be used as Soap Making Colorant and Candle Making Colorant.

This Kamala often appears in secondary forests. Widespread in the Himalayas through India, Sri Lanka and southern China.
