Fridericia triplinervia (Mart. ex DC.) L.G.Lohmann
Fridericia triplinervia (Mart. ex DC.) L.G.Lohmann is a species in the Bignoniaceae family, native to northeastern Argentina, Bolivia, and several regions of Brazil, as well as Paraguay. It was formally described in 2014. The species is distinguished by the presence of pocket domatia on the abaxial side of leaflets and a tubular calyx, which differentiates it from related species such as F. florida, F. mutabilis, F. samydoides, and F. chica. In the Iguaçu and Iguazú National Parks, flowers were collected in February and March, though no fruiting data was recorded.
