For other uses, see [Tecoma (disambiguation)](/source/Tecoma_(disambiguation)). ***Tecoma*** is a [genus](/source/Genus) of seven [species](/source/Species) of shrubs or small trees in the [trumpet vine](/source/Campsis_radicans) family, [Bignoniaceae](/source/Bignoniaceae).[2] They are native to [the Americas](/source/The_Americas), ranging from the extreme [southern United States](/source/Southern_United_States) through [Central America](/source/Central_America) and the [Antilles](/source/Antilles) south through [Andean](/source/Andean) [South America](/source/South_America) to northern [Argentina](/source/Argentina). Even though **Tekoma trees** are not originally native to [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia), they have adapted extremely well to the [Southeast Asian](/source/Southeast_Asia) climate, especially in [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia). Over time, they have become a familiar and iconic seasonal sight in many Malaysian towns and cities. Because of their stunning pink blooms that resemble cherry blossoms, they are locally known as [Malaysia Sakura](/source/Tabebuia_rosea). The generic name is derived from the [Nahuatl](/source/Nahuatl) word *tecomaxochitl*, which was applied by the indigenous peoples of Mexico to plants with tubular flowers.[3] **Trumpetbush** is a common name for plants in this genus.[4] ## Species Image Name Subspecies Distribution Tecoma beckii J.R.I.Wood Bolivia Tecoma castanifolia (D.Don) Melch. – Chestnutleaf trumpetbush Ecuador, Peru Tecoma fulva (Cavanilles) D.Don Tecoma fulva subsp. fulva Tecoma fulva subsp. altoandina J.
