on both sides, the midvein impressed above, prominent beneath, 

 the apex rounded or obtuse, the base subcordate; "flowers 

 pinkish"; capsule 12 cm. long; seeds 5 mm. long, 7 mm. wide, the 

 wings 5 mm. wide. 



Along a small stream in the Finales southeast of Paso Estancia, 

 Oriente, Cuba (Shafer 1710a). Apparently the same as C. Wright 

 3043, referred by Grisebach to Tecoma Leiicoxylon Mart., forma 

 foMolis latioribus. 



Tabebuia pachyphylla sp. nov. 



A tree, up to 12 m. high. Petioles stout, 6-8 cm. long; petiololes 

 stout, 4 cm. long or less; leaflets 5-7, oblong to ovate-oblong, 

 coriaceous, 5-12 cm. long, 2.5-6 cm. wide, lustrous above, dull 

 and densely minutely reticulate-veined beneath, the midvein 

 prominent, the lateral veins slender, the apex bluntly acute, the 

 base rounded or subcordate; flowers pink, clustered; calyx 15 mm. 

 long, bluntly lobed; corolla pink, glabrous, about 5 cm. long, its 

 narrow throat about twice as long as the limb, its lobes rounded. 



Mountains of northeastern Cuba. Type specimen collected 



at Arroyo del Medio, Sierra Nipe, Oriente, Cuba, 450-550 m. 



alt. {Shafer 364s). 



Tabebuia trinitensis sp. nov, 



A tree up to 10 m. high. Leaves 4-foliolate or 5-foliolate; 

 petioles slender, 8-11 cm. long; petiolules slender, 4 cm. long or less; 

 leaflets thin-chartaceous, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, dark green 

 above, paler and lepidote beneath, the larger ones 11-15 cm. long, 

 3-4 cm. wide, bluntly acute or acuminate at the apex, obtuse at 

 the base, finely reticulate-veined and the primary venation rather 

 prominent on both sides. 



Hanabanilla Falls, Trinidad Mountains, province of Santa 

 Clara, Cuba (Britton, Earle & Wilson 4866). 



The description is from leaf-specimens only but these indicate 

 that the tree is a species distinct from all others of Cuba. The 

 ultimate venation and texture of the leaflets differentiate it from 

 T. Brooksiana Britton. 



Tabebuia calcicola sp. nov. 



A slender tree, up to 6 m. high. Leaves 2-5-foliolate; petioles 

 stout, lepidote, 4-5 cm. long; petiolules lepidote, 1.5 cm. long or 

 less; leaflets coriaceous, light green, ovate to ovate-oblong, 3.5-8
