Jasmine-like Tecoma. | Fl. July, Aug. Clt, 1830. Shrub cl. 
18 T. piverstréz1a; leaves impari-pinnate, very variable; 
lower ones smallest, with 11 sessile, ovate-roundish, unequal- 
sided, deeply crenated leaflets : the terminal leaflets the largest, 
ovate-oblong, and bluntly acuminated, having the common 
petiole winged, and articulated at the pairs of leaflets; the leaves 
become as they ascend the stems gradually larger, the leaflets 
more entire; the ultimate ones are therefore the largest, with 
only 5 leaflets, which are ovate-oblong, bluntish and repandly 
crenate, having the terminal leaflet twice the size of the lateral 
ones. h. F. Native of New Holland. The petioles have 
always narrow wings, and the leaves are dark green, glabrous, 
and shining.

Cult. All the species of this genus are elegant plants, well 
worth the cultivator's care. T. radicans is a hardy climbing 
shrub, well fitted for decorating a wall, or front of a house. The 
other species require the same treatment as that recommended 
for the species of Bigndnia, see p. 222.
