Tecoman.

/tɪˈkəʊmə/

Etymology: modern Latin (Jussieu 1789), < Aztec tecomaxochitl, mistakenly supposed by Jussieu to be the name of a species of the genus to which he gave this name (but really the name of Solandra guttata, N.O. Solanaceæ). The Aztec name is a compound of tecomatl + xochitl ‘rose, flower’; the plant being named from the resemblance of its flower to that of the tecomatl or Calabash-tree (Crescentia Cujete, N.O. Bignoniaceæ), lit. ‘pot-tree’, < tecomatl earthen vessel, pot.

Botany.

A large genus of Bignoniaceæ, mostly natives of warm climates, consisting chiefly of shrubs (erect, climbing, or twining), with leaves usually pinnate, and showy trumpet-shaped flowers of various colours (chiefly different shades of yellow and red), whence the name trumpet-flower; many are cultivated in greenhouses, etc. for their beauty.Some shrubby species have sometimes been reckoned in separate genera Tecomaria, Stenolobium, Campsis (or Campsidium), and Pandorea; others (of which some are tall trees used for timber and in medicine) formerly included in Tecoma, but with digitate leaves, are now separated as Tabebuia. Several species are also often called Bignonia.
