Weinmannia pinnata
Native from Mexico through Central America to the tropical Andes and across the Caribbean, this tree grows in very humid mountain forests and vegetation bordering pƔramo. Its opposite compound leaves have toothed leaflets arranged along a winged central axis. Numerous tiny flowers form elongated clusters, followed by small, dry capsules. Leaflet size, shape, and number vary considerably among populations. In Central America, it can flower and fruit at different times throughout the year. Photographed in Colombia.
