Yellow Trumpetbush is an attractive plant that is cultivated as an [[Ornamental plant|ornamental]]. It has sharply-toothed, lance-shaped green leaves and bears large, showy, bright golden yellow trumpet-shaped [[flower]]s. It is drought-tolerant and grows well in warm climates. The flowers attract [[bee]]s, [[butterfly|butterflies]], and [[hummingbird]]s.<ref>For example [[Sapphire-spangled Emerald]] (''Amazilia lactea'') in Brazil (Baza Mendonça & dos Anjos 2005)</ref> The plant produces [[Seedpod|pods]] containing yellow [[seed]]s with papery wings. The plant is desirable [[fodder]] when it grows in fields grazed by [[livestock]].  Yellow Trumpetbush is a [[ruderal species]], readily colonizing disturbed, rocky, [[sand]]y, and cleared land and occasionally becoming an [[invasive weed]]

The leaves and roots of the plant contain bioactive compounds, especially [[monoterpene]]s, which may have medicinal uses; [[Honey bee]]s are attracted to it, but-unlike most flowering plants-the honey produced from Yellow Trumpetbush's nectar/pollen is poisonous.

Tecoma stans, Juss. (Stenolobium stans, Seem.). Yellow Elder. Upright shrub: lvs. odd-pinnate; lfts. 5-11, almost sessile, oblong-ovate to lanceolate, acuminate, serrate, glabrous, 2-5 in. long and 3/4 – 1 1/4 in. broad: fls. in large, terminal racemes or panicles; corolla funnelform-campanulate, yellow, 1 1/2 in. long; anthers pubescent; calyx with 5 short teeth: caps. linear, 5-7 in. long. Sept.-Dec. S. Fla. to W. Indies and S. Amer.—Sometimes called yellow bignonia. Fls. fragrant. Var. angustata, Rehd. (Stenolobium incisum, Woot. & Standley). Lfts. 7-11, lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, sharply or incisely serrate with flaring teeth, 1-3 in. long and 1/4 – 1/2 in. broad. Texas, Ariz., and Mex. This variety is hardier than the type, which is sometimes cult. as T. sambucifolia; the true T. sambucifolia, HBK., from Peru, which has glabrous anthers, is probably not in cult.
