Tecomaria (name derived from Tecoma, alluding to its affinity). Bignoniaceae. Warm-country plants, grown for their showy bloom.
Evergreen shrubs with slender, often sarmentose branches: lvs. opposite, odd-pinnate; lfts. serrate: fls. in terminal panicles or racemes; calyx campanulate, regularly 5-toothed; corolla funnelform, slightly curved; stamens mostly exserted, with pendulous diverging cells; disk cupulate: caps. linear, compressed. — Five species in Cent. and S. Amer. and in S. Afr.
The tecomarias are half-climbing or nearly upright shrubs with handsome pinnate foliage and yellow, orange, or scarlet flowers in rather dense terminal clusters. They can be grown outdoors only in subtropical regions. Of the several species in cultivation only T. capensis seems to be planted in southern California and Florida. Moderate pruning in spring insures a more profuse blooming. Propagation is by seeds and by cuttings under glass in spring or in midsummer.
The cape honeysuckle, T. capensis, grows most luxuriantly in Florida gardens and in those all along the Gulf coast. It is usually grown on trellises on verandas and piazzas with a southern exposure. Of all the species this is the best and most suitable for verandas, being a dense and compact grower, evergreen, almost constantly in flower, easily kept in health and readily trained into shapely specimens. If the long shoots are cut back severely, the plant can be easily trained into shrub form. These long shoots, usually lying flat on the ground, readily strike root and form an excellent material for propagation. T. capensis and Tecoma Smithii are the only ones which grow and flower fairly well as pot-plants in northern greenhouses. They need good soil and rather large pots to do well. If not well cared for they lose most of their foliage and look poor and unshapely.
