Ekmanianthe is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae endemic to the Greater Antilles. It is most closely related to Tabebuia and has sometimes been included within it.
== Taxonomy == Both species of Ekmanianthe were originally described in 1866 by August Grisebach, who placed them in the genus Tecoma. In 1915, Nathaniel Lord Britton placed them in Tabebuia. In 1924, Ignatz Urban, recognizing their distinctiveness, erected the new genus Ekmanianthe in the journal now known as Feddes Repertorium, which was at that time edited by Friedrich Karl Georg Fedde. Ekmanianthe was named for the Swedish botanist Erik Leonard Ekman (1883-1931)."Anthe" is derived from a Greek word for "flower".
