About
Handroanthus chrysanthus, formerly classified as Tabebuia chrysantha, also known as araguaney in Venezuela, as guayacán in Colombia, Ecuador and Panama, as chonta quiru in Peru, 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. On May 29, 1948, Handroanthus chrysanthus was declared the National Tree of Venezuela due to its status as an emblematic native species of extraordinary beauty. Its deep yellow resembles that of the Venezuelan flag.
