A short encyclopedia entry on woad (Isatis tinctoria), a plant of the mustard family whose leaves yield a blue dye. It covers the plant's description, the preparation of the leaves by fermenting and forming dye balls, and its replacement by indigo. It also notes that woad is often used with indigo and should not be confused with weld, a yellow dye plant.
