Tecoma is a genus of seven species of shrubs or small trees in the trumpet vine family, Bignoniaceae.[2] They are native to the Americas, ranging from the extreme southern United States through Central America and the Antilles south through Andean South America to northern Argentina . The generic name is derived from the Nahuatl word tecomaxochitl, which was applied by the indigenous peoples of Mexico to plants with tubular flowers.[3] Trumpetbush is a common name for plants in this genus.[4]
