Flavonoids: A group of organic colorant composed of heterocyclic aromatic compounds. For this database, a group of organic yellow colorants have been grouped in this group, flavonoids due to this common chemical composition and difficulty in identifying them individually. Colorants that have been thought to have been traditionally used in ukiyo-e prints that fall in this category are: Gardenia or 梔子(kuchinashi), Miscanthus tinctorius grass plant or 苅安(kariyasu), Mountain peach or 山桃(yamamomo), Pagoda tree or 槐(enju), and Toringo crabapple or 棠梨(zumi).
Flavonoids have been detected but with current analysis it is difficult to identify the exact source. The flavanoid yellow appear to be a duller tan compared to the vibrant turmeric and orpiment although this is unkown if it is its natural state or due to age and/or fading.
For more information see: Flavonoid, Gardenia, Kariyasu, Pagoda tree, Zumi

Analysis
Flavonoids, such as pagoda tree and kariyasu fluoresce weakly under ultraviolet radiation and only have slight differences in their EEM plots (or spectra?). Due to the difficulty in distinguishing the flavonoid yellows, the decision was made to group them as flavonoids to minimize mistakes in identification.
