== Description ==

A natural green dye obtained from the powdered bark of the buckthorn bushes (''Rhamnus globosa'', ''Rhamnus chlorophorus'', and ''Rhamnus utilis'') that are native to China and Russia. The dye is extracted from the leaves, roots and bark with an alkaline solution. Lokao was a popular green in the 19th century because it appeared green in both daylight and artificial light. It was used for dyeing silk and cotton. The color, however, was not lightfast and was superseded by aniline greens.
