 Collected by Robert Combs in rocky mountainous woods on 

 the seashore at Faro Villa Nueva, Cuba, Sept. 18, 1895, no. 

 601. This plant is said by Mr. Combs to be very rough and 

 ragged in habit. It resembles certain forms of Tabebuia 

 lepidophylla (Tecoma lejndophylla Griseb. Mem. Am. Acad. 

 n. ser. viii. p. 524), from which species it is distinguished by 

 its very different habit, smaller and more typically oblong 

 leaflets, and decidedly smaller flowers." — Plate xxxvii.
