Rosy Trumpet Tree

Common name: Hispaniolan Rosy Trumpet Tree

A small tree originally from the island of Hispaniola near Cuba bearing trumpet shaped flowers with 5 petals with crinkled margins. The flowers,  are rosy white, and yellow in the throat.

It is cultivated in India, but not known to be very common.  I have, as of now,  seen it Mumbai, in KBR park and also on Necklace Road ( where this tree was photographed ).



Botanical name: Tabebuia berteroi    Family: Bignoniaceae (Jacaranda family)
