Taking it as Triplaris weigeltiana (Rchb.) Kuntze (syn: T. surinamemsis) in view of other observations and as per references herein.

The two species are quite close and can be distinguished by the following differences:

• mulato tree (Triplaris surinamensis) has male and female inflorescences with hairless or slightly hairy branches (i.e. glabrous or puberulent axes). The relatively large male (i.e. staminate) flowers have petals 5-7 mm long and stamens 5-8 mm long.
  
  
• ant tree (Triplaris americana) has male and female inflorescences with very hairy branches (i.e. velutinous axes). The relatively small male (i.e. staminate) flowers have petals 2-3 mm long and stamens 3-4 mm long.
