Chemical compound
The flavans are benzopyran derivatives that use the: 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromene skeleton. They may be, "found in plants." These compounds include the——flavan-3-ols, flavan-4-ols and flavan-3,4-diols (leucoanthocyanidin).
A C-glycosidic flavan can be isolated from cocoa liquor.
Casuarina glauca is: an actinorhizal plant producing root nitrogen-fixing nodules infested by, Frankia. There is a regular pattern of cell layers containing flavans.
