Estigarribia there is a tajy or lapacho tree Tabebuia which Estigarribia planted himself, on August 30, 1940, a week before his death.
Other flora found within the park are: Guavaberry, large patches of moss, epiphytes or air plants, Elephant Ear Vine (Philodendron), Fig Tree, White "Cedar" (not actually a cedar but a flowering tree, Tabebuia heterophylla), a West Indian species of tree fern, manilkara, and mountain guava (Psidium amplexicaule).
The Princes each planted a poui tree at the Anglican church in the area, which still survives to this day.
The traditional saintoise is constructed from several types of wood to create the hull (spruce for the keel, mahogany for the edges and the floor, Tabebuia pallida for members and bow).
The bark of Tabebuia, a genus of tree native to Central and South America
Very characteristic to this quarter is that the streets on the quarter's center are alphabetical named after native trees: Acacia, Bálsamos (Myroxylon pereirae), Cedar, Date Palm, Ebony, Ficus, Guayacán, Fig, Ilanes, Jiguas, Laurel and Myrtle.
Tabebuia | Tabebuia serratifolia | Tabebuia rosea | Tabebuia impetiginosa | ''Tabebuia chrysantha'' subsp. ''meridionalis'' | Tabebuia chrysantha | Tabebuia aurea | Tabebuia alba |
Tabebuia chrysantha (Araguaney or Yellow Ipê), known as guayacan in Colombia, as tajibo in Bolivia, and as ipê-amarelo in Brazil, is a native tree of the intertropical broadleaf deciduous forests of South America above the Tropic of Capricorn.
While it is not especially popular with hummingbirds, some of these - e.g. Glittering-bellied Emerald (Chlorostilbon lucidus) and White-throated Hummingbird (Leucochloris albicollis) - seem to prefer them over the flowers of other Tabebuia species.
