Flowers of the Tecoma 



There are more than one hundred species of this genous, 

 natives of temperate, tropical, and subtropical America, and 

 also of Asia and Africa. Owing to the shape of the flowers, they are 

 popularly known as trumpet vines. Some species, however, 

 are upright shrubs or trees. Mr. Burbank has hybrid- 

 ized several of the Tecomas with the Bignonia.
