I am also interested to know. Is it by any chance a Begnoniaceae member?

Dear Ajinkya Ji,

This is a new species of Tecoma to me. Would you please tell us how to distinguish this species from T. stans.

I am unable to access literature ore references related to this species.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Giby

Giby ji ... from The Plants List ... Tecoma gaudichaudii DC. is a synonym of Tecoma castanifolia (D.Don) Melch.
Am sure Ajinkya had spelled the name inadvertently.

Cannot make out from Subrata ji's photo whether the plant has simple OR compound leaves ... he may let us know.
If simple, it could be T. castanifolia (syn. T. gaudichaudii) ... native of equatorial South America ... commonly known as chestnutleaf trumpetbush ... at Flowers of India.

Regards.
Dinesh

Thank you Dinesh Ji for the clarification.

Now, I request Subrata Ji to kindly provide needed information (whether the leaves are simple or compound) to confirm the species.
