Sighted a Hispaniolan Rosy Trumpet Tree (Tabebuia berteroi) in Chennai. This comes from the island of Hispaniola near Cuba. It is a small tree with obovate leaflets 5-12 cm long. Leaflets are hairless, thick and pointed. The tree bears trumpet shaped flowers with 5 flaring petals with crinkled margins. The flowers, 5-6 cm long, are rosy white, with yellow in the throat. The tree is cultivated in India, but am told is not common. Hope I got the ID right!
