Associate evergreen shrubs and small trees to Pseudosamanea cubana include: Bourreria virgata, Eugenia foetida, Capparis cynophallophora and Bursera glauca. Cactus associate species include: Opuntia dillenii, O. triacantha, Harrisia eriophora, H. taetra, Dendrocereus nudiflorus and Pilosocereus robinii.
