Tecoma stans is a species of flowering perennial shrub in the trumpet vine family, Bignoniaceae, that is native to the Americas.

[4] Tecoma stans is the official flower of the United States Virgin Islands and the floral emblem of The Bahamas.

Tecoma stans is a semi-evergreen shrub or small tree, growing up to 10 m (30 ft) tall.

The large, showy, golden yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers are in clusters at the ends of branches.

The corolla of the flower is bell- to funnel-shaped, five-lobed (weakly two-lipped), often reddish-veined in the throat and is 3.5 to 8.5 cm long.

[8] Yellow trumpetbush is a ruderal species, readily colonizing disturbed, rocky, sandy, and cleared land and occasionally becoming an invasive weed.

The wood of Tecoma stans is used in rustic architecture like bahareque, for the construction of furniture and canoes, or as firewood or charcoal.
