Tecoma jasminoides 
T. mol issima. PINK PASSION VINE. Andes 
Mts. Leaves deeply three-lobed, downy beneath. 
Flowers large, drooping, rose-colored; corona short; 
tube long. 
TECOMA 
Evergreen and deciduous climbers, very much 
like Bignonias. Flowers are tubular or trumpet- 
shaped, varying considerably in size. 
T. australis. WONGA-WONGA VINE. Aus¬ 
tralia. Evergreen twining vine of strong and rapid 
growth. Especially valuable for its beautiful, dark 
green, glossy foliage. Leaflets large. The small 
flowers are borne very profusely in early spring; 
creamy white with violet spots inside. 
T. capensis. S. Africa. Growth moderate. Leaf¬ 
lets rather small and coarsely serrated. Flowers 
bright orange red, slender, with protruding sta¬ 
mens. Evergreen. 
T. grandiflora (Bignonia grandiflora; B. chinen- 
sis). CHINESE TRUMPET VINE. Foliage similar 
to Common Trumpet Vine and deciduous. Flowers 
similarly colored, but shorter, more flaring and with 
much larger, spreading lobes. They are borne in 
a large, open panicle. Makes a beautiful display 
nearly all summer; far superior to the common 
form. Very little known, as the ordinary Tecoma 
radicans has so generally been sent out by nurs¬ 
eries under this name. 
T. jasminoides. Australia. Vigorous evergreen 
climber. Leaflets small, pointed, dark green. 
Flowers large, the flaring lobes white shading to 
rosy pink inside the tube; borne in clusters. 
Blooms almost continually throughout the year. 
Very handsome. 
T. jasminoides alba. Variety of preceding. Flow¬ 
ers larger and entirely white. Foliage light green. 
T. radicans. COMMON TRUMPET VINE. De- 
eiduous climber of strong growth. Leaflets large. 
Flowers very long. Tube orange yellow, spreading 
lobes orange red or scarlet, borne in compact, ter¬ 
minal clusters. 
T. ricasolina (T. mackenl). S. Africa. Ever¬ 
green climber. Leaflets dark green above, pale 
beneath. Flowers large, borne in clusters, light 
pink, striped red. 
T. smithi. GARDEN HYBRID. Hardly a climber. 
Leaflets small and numerous. Flowers medium¬ 
sized, yellow, tinged orange, borne in large pani¬ 
cles. Semi-evergreen. 
THUNBERGIA 
T. coccinea. India. Tall, freely branching, ever¬ 
green climber. Leaves variable. Flowers large, 
trumpet-shaped, with scarlet lobes and orange in¬ 
side the throat. 
TRACHELOSPERMUM 
r T- jasminoides (Rhynchospermum jasminoides). 
STAR JASMINE. China. Leaves smooth and not 
divided. Flowers very numerous, delightfully fra¬ 
grant, creamy white, about an inch across. The 
five petals overlap slightlv and are strongly re¬ 
flexed and twisted, giving the flowers a very unique 
appearance. Grows slowly, but starts flowering 
when very small. 
VITIS: Grape 
V. capensis. EVERGREEN GRAPE. S. Africa.
