Gorgeous Tree in the Yucatan

This tree was so beautiful - any help greatly appreciated.

 

Luehea spp.?

 

Yes! Thank you so much. I think L. speciosa from photos.

 

I agree, davallia, it is georgeous - as are the pictures.

 

Thank you, Susan - I love doing the photos; every day a surprise.

 

I don't know the plant at all, I just found an image with similar calyx on this Malvaceae site. It's a very helpful site.

This is terrific, Eric. One of my favorite families - this is bookmarked, for sure. Thank you.

 

Wow, I just learned that Tilia are Malvaceae. I've bookmarked that site too.

Davallia, as long as I'm here, I may as well add how much I enjoyed seeing this tree and the photos.

 

Thank you Wendy. A lovely surpirse - turned a corner on a path and there it was - a new surprise.
