:''"Trumpet tree" redirects here. This term is occasionally used for the [[Shield-leaved Pumpwood]] (''[[Cecropia peltata]]'').''
'''''Tabebuia''''' is a [[Neotropic ecozone|neotropical]] [[genus]] of about 100 [[species]]<ref name = steyermarketal1997>Steyermark ''et al.'' (1997)</ref> in the [[Tribe (biology)|tribe]] [[Tecomeae]] of the family [[Bignoniaceae]]. The species range from northern [[Mexico]] and the [[Antilles]] south to northern [[Argentina]] and central [[Venezuela]], including the [[Caribbean]] islands of [[Hispaniola]] ([[Dominican Republic]], [[Haiti]]) and [[Cuba]]. Well-known common names include '''[[Ipê]]''', '''Poui''', '''trumpet trees''' and '''''pau d'arco'''''.
[[Image:Leaves I IMG 4036.jpg|thumb|left|Young leaves of [[Caribbean Trumpet Tree]] (''Tabebuia aurea'')]]
They are large [[shrub]]s or trees growing to 5 to 50 m (16 to 160 ft.) tall depending on the species; many species are [[dry season|dry-season]] [[deciduous]] but some are [[evergreen]]. The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite pairs, complex or palmately compound with 3–7 [[leaflet]]s.<ref name = steyermarketal1997 />
''Tabebuia'' is a notable [[flower]]ing tree. The flowers are 3 to 11 cm (1 to 4 in.) wide and are produced in dense clusters. They present a cupular [[sepals|calyx]] campanulate to tubular, truncate, bilabiate or 5-lobed. [[Corolla (flower)|Corolla]] colors vary between species ranging from white, light pink, yellow, lavender, magenta, or red. The outside texture of the flower tube is either [[glabrous]] or pubescent.<ref name = steyermarketal1997 />
The [[fruit]] is a [[dehiscent]] pod, 10 to 50 cm (4 to 20 in.) long, containing numerous—in some species winged—[[seed]]s.<ref name = steyermarketal1997 /> These pods often remain on the tree through dry season until the beginning of the [[rainy season]].
''Tabebuia'' is widely used as [[Ornamental plant|ornamental tree]] in the tropics in landscaping gardens, public squares, and boulevards due to its impressive and colorful flowering. Many flowers appear on still leafless stems at the end of the dry season, making the floral display more conspicuous. They are useful as [[honey plant]]s for [[bee]]s, and are popular with certain [[hummingbird]]s.<ref>Baza Mendonça & dos Anjos (2005)</ref>
