摘　　要：[研究意义]蓝草是古代使用量最大的植物染材,品种有很多,且不同品种的蓝草在不同时期和不同地区,往往还有不同的名称。今人对这些名称原植物的讨论,有很多不够明晰之处。[研究方法]文章在前人研究的基础上,结合古文献、田野调查资料以及现代植物学知识,对蓝草不同名称的历史记载,予以不同以往的另类解读。[研究结果与结论]研究认为古文献中出现的木蓝,在没有特别标示其形态特征的前提下,原植物似乎还应包括同属豆科的野青树;苏颂和李时珍笔下的吴蓝,原植物疑似为豆科的野百合;宋应星笔下的苋蓝,原植物疑似是苋科的野苋,或是爵床科的观音草。Different varieties of indigo plants are the most widely used vegetable dye in ancient times.And different kinds of indigo plants in different times and different regions often have different names.Now many discussions on the plants with these names are not clear enough.Combining previous research achievements,ancient documents,field investigation and modern botany,this paper gives a different and alternative interpretation to the historical records of original indigo plants with different names.It finds that the original plant of indigofera tinctoria in ancient books,if there was no particular description of its morphological characteristics,seems to include Indigofera Suffruticosa belonging to leguminosae,and that the original indigo plant written by Su Song and Li Shizhen,is suspected to be Wild lily of the leguminous family,and that the original plant of Amaranth Blue written by Song Yingxing,is suspected to be Wild amaranth of the amaranth family or Peristrophe baphica of Acanthaceae.
