'''''Tecoma''''' is a [[genus]] of 14 [[species]] of shrubs or small trees in the [[Campsis radicans|trumpet vine]] family, [[Bignoniaceae]]. Twelve species are from the [[Americas]], while the other two species are [[Africa]]n. The American species range 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.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=2ndDtX-RjYkC& |title=CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names |volume=4 R-Z |year=2000 |first=Umberto |last=Quattrocchi |publisher=Taylor & Francis US |isbn=9780849326783 |page=2637}}</ref>
