Read about Campsidium in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Campsidium (alluding to its similarity to Campsis). Bignoniaceae. Ornamental vines grown for their bright orange flowers and also for their handsome evergreen finely pinnate foliage. Evergreen shrubs, high-climbing, without tendrils and without rootlets, with odd-pinnate, opposite lvs. and tubular, orange, slender-pedicelled fls. in terminal, loose and short racemes: calyx turbinate, 5-toothed, glandless; corolla tubular, slightly ventricose, straight, with 5 short equal lobes; stamens, 4, the 2 longer with the anthers exserted; anther-sacs parallel; disk cupular, flat: fr. a narrow caps, with many winged seeds.—Two species in Chile and in the Fiji Isls. They are adapted only for subtropical regions and do not seem to bloom readily, but even without flowers they are worth planting for their foliage alone. In Old World gardens, they are sometimes cultivated as stove plants, but C. valdivianum, judging from its habitat, might do better in the cool greenhouse. Propagated by greenwood cuttings under glass. For further culture, see Campsis. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
