    This tree is in the Yucatan - it may or may not be native. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Daniel. That's it. The tiered appearance and the drooping leader clinched it. I had found other flowers that looked similar, but not the tree architecture. Thank you again.

    More info about it from Purdue's New Crops, for those interested.
