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 Leucoxylon Mart., forma 

 foliolis latiorihus. 



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

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 6f 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
