Growing in Delhi University Nirsery, still about 6 feet tall. Bignoniaceae member with simple serrate-dentate leaves I am unable to place.

… most likely Chestnutleaf Trumpetbush … Tecoma castanifolia … native to western South America (Equador, Peru)
FOI: http://www.flowersofindia.ChestnutleafTrumpetbush.html


I think it is Tecoma stans. Because, T.castanifolia, leaves and flower arrangement are different


… if this plant has compound leaves, then it must be T. stans, else T. castanifolia OR yet else, friends please comment.


A plant growing in my garden looks very similar to one posted by … from Delhi.
I am posting few photos of that for confirmation of ID.

This plant is Tecoma stans


Yes, the plant is Tecoma stans


I too think the plant is Tecoma stans


Please don’t mix up the two plants. My plant has simple leaves and it has been rightly identified as Tecoma castanifolia … plant is Tecoma stans and has pinnate leaves and larger flowers.Tecoma stans is a very common garden shrub-tree.



/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tecoma%20stans_Yellow%20Bells_Ghantiphul.jpg/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tecoma%20castanifolia-gaudichaudii-.jpg
Tecoma stans and T. castanifolia: Trees with bright yellow bellshaped flowers present a gorgeous sight when
in full bloom. It blooms several times throughout the year.
Naturally it comes to mind that these may be used as ornamental tree to beautify the campus avenue. Experts may recommend which of these will be more suitable in our climate.

About a month back I put up a photo of 4m high tree in bloom for ID. It was first identified by … as T. stans. Soon followed a lively discussion and participation by many. It is stated that though flowers look similar the
cousin brothers have a big difference. T. stans has a compound leaf while the other has simple leaf. I went to the location in Kolkata, found leaves are opposite and compound trifoliate. 
As per PIER’s description for T. stans “Leaves opposite, pinnately compounded, leafllets 1-9, usually 3-7 “. this then should be T. stans.
In the meantime …. went to the library and found key to Tecoma Cf ‘Flora of Udupi’ by K.G.Bhatt
Leaves simple or 2-3 foliolates – T. castanifolia (syn. T. gaudichaudii)
Leaves 5-13 foliolates – T. stans.
Thanks to his perseverance our knowledge has expanded, but it makes the matter open

I find you have reproduced the first image as same which you had labelled in earlier thread as Tecoma-stans_Yellow Bells_Chandraprabha.jpg now changed to Tecoma stans_Yellow Bells_Ghantiphul.jpg. If you remember both myself and …. had finally concluded your plant as Tecoma castanifolia (syn:
T. gaudichaudii). To me the confusion lies in the fact that in T. gaudchaudii, the leaves may be with more leaves with three leaflets (any one who has description from a book where two are described as distinct species
may please confirm this: I may even be wrong) where as in T. castanifolia, the leaves are simple (I write this on the basis of Hortus Third). Since the two are now treated as synonyms, we can expect T. castanifolia to have
either simple leaves, or with three leaflets.
I think both your above photographs belong to Tecoma castanifolia, and not T. stans. I think both your plants have not more than three leaflets.
Tecoma stans as specified by … (and supported by Hortus Third) has leaves with 5-13 leaflets, much more brighter orange flowers. I am uploading both for your reference.


I agree with you.
I put a request to my friend to send me an illustration of T. castanifolia that I haven’t received yet.
Now with your pictures I think it become clear.


… is right. I have also observed that the flowers of T. castanifolia are in bunches, whereas T. stans flowers singly. I always felt that T. castanifolia is more attractive to look at because of this.


I doubt whether T. stans flowers singly. I think they also produce flowers apical and axillary clusters.


Yes …
In clusters in both my photographs. In second one rest of the flowers of the cluster are partially hidden behind the leaf. Single may be rarity. We should base our conclusions on most nature of most flowers/leaves on the plant, it also varies sometimes with cultural practices. In our area in a garden the trimmed shrubs all had simple leaves in Vitex trifoliata, but when new shoots came most had trifoliate leaves.


Thanks to … for enlightening us with his wisdom. What i found is;- that leaves are opposite and trifoliate. I did send one sample but i am not sure whether it is available now.
The point that i want to make is its excellent suitability as avenue tree just like Pride of India (L.speciosa ) adorns the IIT campus.


Yes … Today I saw a long avenue of Tecoma castanifolia along Noida toll bridge. It was profusely flowering and looking great.

Tecoma castanifolia (Syn. Tecoma gaudichaudii) has simple leaves and can have upto 3 foliate leaves.


this simple yet trifoliate definition has been a source of confusion for a while this week I think i begin to see its usefulness….

How we can differenciate T. stans from T. castanifolia using morphology?


Thank you all for the ID. There is a picture and description on www.flowersofindia.net which mentions about the distinction between T.stans and T.castanifolia.


As the leaves are serrate among other things, it should be Tecoma castanifolia (pl. also see the keys at this link).

From what ever leaves are visible they seem to be simple. That suggests Tecoma castanifolia (D. Don) Melch (syn: Tecoma gaudichaudii DC.) and not T. stans..

Leaf of a Ghanti Phul or Yellow Bells:
Experts say there are two kinds :-
1. Tecoma stans
2. Tecoma gaudichaudii (Syn. T. castanifolia)
They are difficult to distinguish,. Leaf of T.stans is compound while the other’s is simple. So the leaf acquires importance. About a fortnight back the tree was in full bloom with bright yellow flowers. It was a sight to see
! I wonder why this is not used as ornamental avenue tree as the Queen’s Flower or Pride of India (Lagerstroemia speciosa) adorns the IITB Powai campus.

Thanks …
Tecoma stans and Tecoma castanifolia is very confusing for me.
How do we differentiate between the two?


I think Tecoma castanifolia as per keys and details herein.
Yellow Bells (T. stans), has compound leaves, whereas this one (T. castanifolia), has simple leaves and can have upto 3 foliate leaves In the Yellow Bells (T. stans), the clusters of flowers bend the branch and are commonly seen beautifully hanging down. In Chestnutleaf Trumpetbush (T. castanifolia), clusters of yellow bell-shaped flowers appear at the end of branches which spread outwards. The leaves have serrated margins;
