The studied site has a wide ranging altitudinal gradient and consequently great diversification of vegetation formations and high biological diversity. The tribe Tecomeae is represented by 13 species, distributed in four genera: Tabebuia with six species, Jacaranda with five species, Cybstax and Sparattosperma, both with one species. Keys to identify the taxa, descriptions, illustrations and geographical distribution data are presented.
