Description  “Pliny and others wrote of indigo as Indicum, which designation per se sufficiently indicates that it was produced in India and we are indebted to the Roman naturalists ... for a curious method of distinguishing superior from inferior indigo;” —‘The proof hereof is by fire, for cast the right indigo upon live coals it yieldeth a flame of the most excellent purple.’”    
Indexer  This index entry was extracted from a sketch of the origins of the manufacture of indigo [pp. 65-66, 69].
