 Non-monomeric flavonoids. Flavonoids can also bond to
                one another, particularly through their very reactive C-6 or C-
                8. The result is a dimer known as a biflavonoid. The majority
                of natural biflavonoids are dimers of flavones and flavanones.

             Flavonoid oligomers are built from leucoanthocyanes or
                anthocyanes units, condensed tannins are polymers of

                flavonoids.
             Most of these euflavonoids, or flavonoids in the strict
                sense (flavanones, flavones, flavonols, and anthocyanins) bear

                ring B in position 2 of the heterocyclic ring.
