__NOTOC__{{Plantbox

'''''Tabebuia rosea''''' is a neotropical tree that grows up to {{Convert|30|m|in|0|abbr=on}} and can reach a [[diameter at breast height]] of up to {{Convert|100|cm|ft|0|abbr=on}}.  The name '''Roble de Sabana''' is widely used in [[Costa Rica]] meaning "savannah oak" in [[Spanish language|Spanish]], probably because it often remains in heavily deforested areas, where people prize its intense flowering periods and because of the resemblance of its wood with the oak wood<ref>Hernan Rodriguez Navas. 2007.  La Utilidad de las Plantas Medicinales en Costa Rica. EUNA, Heredia, Costa Rica. 213pp.</ref> The name '''Maquilishuat''' is almost entirely used by the inhabitants of El Salvador to designate the Tabeuia rosea; it's also their [[national tree]].

| common_names =    <!--- if multiple, list all, if none, leave blank -->

This species is distributed from southern [[Mexico]], to [[Venezuela]] and [[Ecuador]]. It has been found growing from [[sealevel]] to {{Convert|1200|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}, in [[temperature]]s ranging from 20°C to 30°C on average, with annual [[rainfall]] above 500 mm, and on soils with very variable [[pH]].

| high = ?  <!--- 1m (3 ft) -->

The tree crown is wide, with irregular, stratified [[Ramification (botany)|ramification]] and only few thick branches. The bark can be gray to brown, in varying darkness and may be vertically fissured. [[Leaf|Leaves]] are [[Compound (botany)|compound]], [[digitate]] and [[deciduous]]. Each leaf has five [[leaflet]]s of variable size, the middle one being the largest. Flowering occurs mainly  in January and February, and is generally associated with dry periods; although flowering has also been observed in August, September, April and May. Flowers are large, in various tones of pink to purple, and appear while the tree has none, or very few, leaves. [[Pollination]] occurs probably by insects, although the flowers are visited by many birds such as [[tanager]]s, [[hummingbird]]s and [[New World oriole|orioles]]. The long and slender fruit capsules can measure up to {{Convert|35|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} and appear from February through April. After the drying fruit [[Dehiscence (botany)|dehisces]], the anemochorous, [[hyaline]]-[[membrane]]-[[Seed dispersal#Wind|winged]] seeds are released. There are an average of 45,000 seeds per [[kg]] with up to 13% water content. [[Germination]] of seeds is extremely easy and efficient, reaching almost 100%.

This tree is often seen in [[Neotropic]]al cities, where it is often planted in parks and gardens.  In the rainy season it offers great shade and, in the dry season, abundant flowers are present on the defoliated trees.
