The title compound, 1-[2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-(3-methyl­but-2-enyl)­phenyl]-3-(4-hydroxy­phenyl)­prop-2-en-1-one (also known as bavachalcone), C21H22O4, is a polymorphic form of a previously reported structure [Bhalla et al. (1968). Tetrahedron Lett. 20, 2401–2406]. The mol­ecules in both polymorphs exhibit nearly identical conformations. In each polymorph, strong intra- and intermolecular hydrogen-bonded chains, involving the hydroxyl groups, are formed. A weak C—H...O interaction is seen in the present structure, but was not observed in the previously reported polymorph.
