The leaves naturally store alum and so by harvesting the plant, drying and grinding the leaves, dyers can access an organic supply of th is important mordant. Our symplocos is obtained through the Babali Foundation (plantmordant.org) a group dedicated to preservation of the plant and cultural ecosystems. Instructions and recipes available here.
