 | | Members of the genus Jacaranda differ from other Bignoninaceae by having a staminode that is longer than the stamens, 3-colpate pollen, and a chromosome number of 18. |
 | | Section Monolobos (which includes Blue Jacarandas) has 18 species and is found primarily in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and western South America as well in smaller numbers in South Africa (particularly in Pietermaritzburg and Pretoria), where settlers imported the decorative trees. |
