"Roseodendron" was resolved as sister to a clade consisting of "Handroanthus" and four other genera. This result had only weak statistical support, but "Roseodendron" clearly did not group with the remainder of "Tabebuia". Consequently, "Roseodendron" was resurrected in its original form. The remaining 67 species of "Tabebuia" formed a strongly supported clade that is sister to "Ekmanianthe", a genus of two species from Cuba and Hispaniola. "Tabebuia" had been traditionally placed in the tribe Tecomeae, but that tribe is now defined much more narrowly than it had been, and it now excludes "Tabebuia". "Tabebuia" is now one of 12 to 14 genera belonging to a group that is informally called the "Tabebuia" alliance. This group has not been placed at any particular taxonomic rank.
