Macondo's Trees

Caption

Macondo's trees (Cavanillesia platanifolia). Coincidentally, this tree was found close to the sampling sites in the dry forest of "El Ceibal," Santa Catalina, Bolivar, the habitat of Proneotermes macondianus. This tree species may have been a source of inspiration for the name of the fictional town of "Macondo."
