Azaleatin
Azaleatin is a chemical compound. It is an O-methylated flavonol, a type of flavonoid. It was first isolated from the flowers of Rhododendron mucronatum in 1956[1] and has since been recorded in forty-four other Rhododendron species, in Plumbago capensis, in Ceratostigma willmottiana[2] and in Carya pecan.[3] It has been also been found in the leaves of Eucryphia.[4]
