In culture
Trees of Robinsonella speciosa are traditionally grown as ornamental plants in the gardens of the Tojolabal and Tzeltal city of Comitán de Domínguez in the highlands of southern Chiapas, where it is called tenocté; it has beautiful white flowers which appear in May before the leaves do. According to traditional knowledge, it is important for women never to touch the tree, especially when it is in flower, for it will cause them to immediately elope with their boyfriends, and even worse, with whichever man that passes their sight.[1]
