The '''Bignoniaceae''', or trumpet creeper family, is a family of [[flowering plants]], comprising mainly of [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s, [[liana]]s, and a few [[herbaceous]] plants. The family is widespread in both [[Old World]] and [[New World]], distributed mostly in the [[tropics]] and [[subtropics]], but with a number of temperate species as well, mainly in North America and eastern Asia. The family includes about 650 species in 110 genera.

===Cultivation and uses===
Several species are important [[ornamental plant]]s, grown for their often spectacular flower displays. Genera important in [[horticulture]] include ''Campsis'', ''Catalpa'', ''Jacaranda'', ''Kigelia'', ''Pandorea'', ''Spathodea'', and ''Tabebuia''.
