Cubanola dominguensis—also known as 'campanita criolla', or 'little creole bell', in Spanish—is an endemic species to the Dominican Republic, on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (to the east of Haiti).
Normally growing at lower elevations near the sea, it has been documented in many locations around the Dominican Republic, such as Cabo Rojo and Jaragua National Park, in the country's more southwesterly region, to Santiago de Los Caballeros in the north, Punta Cana in the east, and Santo Domingo, the capital city on the country's south-central coast.
Cubanola domingensis are shrubs or small trees up to 2 m in height with pendant, white flowers.
They are endemic to the Dominican Republic, where they are found in the provinces of Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Macorís, and La Altagracia.
Later, Annette Aiello moved these to a new genera, Cubanola, in her 1979 doctoral thesis A reexamination of Portlandia (Rubiaceae) and associated taxa.
