Indigo came from the leaves of plants of the genus 111digofera which were cultivated in India, particularly in the provinces of Bengal, Gude and Madras,as well as in the other countries of the east such as Java, China, Japan and the Philippine Isles. It was also found in Central America, the West Indies, Brazil, Madagascar and certain parts of Central and South Africa. The geographical distribution was therefore widespread throughout the tropical areas of the world.Historically speaking it has been the most famous and important of all dyes. It was known in its natural form to the dyers of antiquity, but was rare in the Western world and remained so throughout the Middle Ages
