Erythrina burttii is a flowering plant species found in Kenya and Ethiopia. It contains flavonoids with antimicrobial properties, including 7-O-Methylluteone in the bark. The root bark also contains antiplasmodial compounds such as burttinol-A, burttinol-C, and burttinol-D. These properties make E. burttii a potential source for natural medicines.
