2.  The introduction of the mankind had marked the continuous exploitation of
the plants as organisms and their products for the pharmacological
prospects and key features (Guha et al., 1999). In most of the agronomic
domains around the globe, the conventional modes of the treatment are
still in exercise and also in upcoming research (Srivastava et al., 2003).
 These approaches most commonly exploit the various dynamics and much
specific potential and applications of plant extracts (Bonde et al., 2007) .
The distinctions of the first and foremost large-scale screening of the green
plants evaluate and also assess the antimicrobial activity of 2,300 plants
(Nautiyal et al., 1984).
 Dyeing is an ancient and traditional art which predates written records. It
was practised specifically during the Bronze Age in Europe (Sreeremya,
2016). Conventional dyeing techniques encompassed sticking plants to
fabric or rubbing crushed pigments into cloth.

3.  Biodye is an intriguing stream of research whereby the intricacy
natural flora’s can be tapped for extraction of dyes (Sreeremya,
2017b). Rivina humilis L. belongs to the family Phytolaccaceae is
a native of tropical America and is now widespread throughout
in tropics and subtropics (Dequan, 2003; Mabberley, 2008; Tseng
et al., 2008). In many countries this species is often cultivated in
gardens as the juicy pericarp is used in cosmetics (Walter, 1909).
The genus was recognized by Linnaeus in 1753 and since then
several species have been recognized by various workers
(Linneaus, 1753), giving emphasis to morphological plasticity in
vegetative as well as reproductive characters.
 Present day Rivina is treated with a single species, R. humilis
(Dequan, 2003; Mabberley, 2008).

4.  As too much of emphasis was given to morphological variability
in recognizing species under this genus, a re-examination of the
taxonomy of Rivina was conducted based on field observation
and the conclusions are presented here. An elaborate taxonomic
circumscription of the genus Rivina was provided first by Moquin
(1849). He divided the genus into two sections: Sect. I. Villamilla
(8-12 stamens, stigma sessile to subsessile, penicillate) with two
species and Sect. II. Piercea (4 stamens, style elongated, curved
and stigma papillose) with eight species. However, present day
Rivina is treated with a single species, R. humilis and the rest are
treated either as synonym or shifted to other genera (Thieret,
1966)

5.  MATERIALS AND METHODS SAMPLE COLLECTION
Rivina humilis berries were collected weighed to
10gm BIODYE EXTRACTION The petals of flowers
were weighed and boiled by adding 100ml distilled
water and boiled for 10mints until there is a color
change for distilled water. The boiled Rivina humilis
berry extract was filtered through whatmann no: 1
filter paper (Sreeremya et al., 2017c). The Rivina
humilis berry extract ( biodye ) serve as an ambient
source for the fungal growth (Sreeremya,2017d)
