Holcocera cerradicola is a moth, whose larvae feed on S. adstringens.

Chemistry

S. adstringens stem bark is used to produce tannins of the prorobinetinidins (flavanols oligomers containing robinetinidol) or prodelphinidins type. These are robinetinidol-(4β → 8)-epigallocatechin, robinetinidol-(4α → 8)-epigallocatechin, robinetinidol-(4β → 8)-epigallocatechin 3-O-gallate, robinetinidol-(4α → 8)-epigallocatechin 3-O-gallate, robinetinidol-(4α → 6)-gallocatechin and robinetinidol-(4α → 6)-epigallocatechin, in addition to the tentatively characterized, robinetinidol [4β → 6(8)]-gallocatechin and robinetinidol-(4α → 8)-gallocatechin.[2][3]

gollark: It's done by centralized authorities, and they can also just arbitrarily delegate out that cert-making power.
gollark: Arguably DNS too, but that isn't really its fault.
gollark: Also the entire certificate authority system.
gollark: And still has a number of holes, like I think the ability to force downgrade to older worse versions and the unencrypted SNI.
gollark: You mean TLS? SSL is kind of outdated and 🐝 now.
