Ombuin is an O-methylated flavonol, a type of flavonoid. It is the 4',7-O-methyl derivative of quercetin.
Ombuin can be found in species of the genus Erythroxylum. It can also be synthesized.[1] Ombuin 3-sulfate can be isolated from Flaveria chlorifolia.[2]
Glycosides[edit]
Ombuin-3-rutinoside can be isolated from Phytolacca dioica, the ombu tree.[3] Ombuin-3-O-rhamnosylglucoside can be found in Erythroxylum rufum.[4]
Other glycosides (ombuosides) :
- Ombuin 3-galactoside (C23H24O12, CAS number 69168-13-4)
- Ombuin 3-glucoside (C23H24O12, CAS number 158642-42-3)

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
