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 1956¹ and has since been recorded in 44 other Rhododendron species, in Plumbago capensis, in Ceratostigma willmottiana² and in Carya pecan.³ It has also been found in the leaves of Eucryphia.⁴

Glycosides

Azalein is the 3-O-α-L-rhamnoside of azaleatin.
