Tabebuian is a perzine published in Miami, Florida from 1973 to 1976. There were 28 issues.

From the ad section in Masiform D #3: "New underground science/math/education minimag. Read/contribute, 6/$1. Box 374, Miami, Florida 33133."

A fan in 1974 described it as: "Small, pink, litho and full of wondrous things."

A fan in 2001 said:

"People keep sending me their fanzines—amateur publications concerning sf and related subjects, and spanning the spectrum from mimeographs to four color offset. As with amateur efforts of any kind, some are just dreadful and some are sublime. One of the most piquant I have seen is a little 'zine out of Florida called the Tabebuian. It is the size of a pocket-calculator instruction pamphlet, much better printed, published by Mensa members Dave and Mardi Jenrette. I can attest to the fact that David's sense of humor is D. Jenrette. I wrote him a letter asking why, if Mensa people were so smart, they had named their organization after the Latin word for table (mensa) rather than mind (mens, an early example of unconscious sexism). He replied that the club's name is in fact derived from menses, and refers to their periodic meetings. (I gave this riposte a standing ovulation.)"
