Campsis × tagliabuana (Vis.) Rehder, J. Arnold Arbor. 13: 340 1932. (Unresolved) (Syn: Campsis × intermedia C.K.Schneid.; Tecoma × tagliabuana Vis.); . Woody climber: leaflets 7-11 (-13), glabrous beneath; calyx parted up to middle; flowers orange to scarlet; corolla tube 2-3 times longer than calyx, limb 5-8 cm across; sterile flowers fall off when mature, fruits not produced.; .    Genus Campsis has been confusing me a lot for quite some time. Traditionally two species of this genus are recognized as common garden trumpet creepers: Campsis grandiflora: leaflets 7-9; glabrous beneath; 4-7 cm long, paler green; calyx 5-lobed to middle; flowers orange to scarlet, corolla tube nearly one and half times as long as calyx, limb nearly 5-6 cm across; capsule 10-15 cm long, obtuse at apex, without beak. Campsis radicans: leaflets 9-11, pubescent beneath especially along midreib and main veins, dark green above; calyx shortly 5-lobed, lobes less than 1/3 the tube; flowers orange with scarlet limb, 2-3 times as long as calyx, usually less than 4 cm across; capsule cylindric-oblong, 7-12 cm long, keeled along sutures, beaked at apex. Campsis x tagliabuana: leaflets 7-11 (-13), glabrous beneath; calyx parted up to middle; flowers orange to scarlet; corolla tube 2-3 times longer than calyx, limb 5-8 cm across; sterile flowers fall off when mature, fruits not produced. I have been following the specimens of Campsis in Delhi, Kashmir, California and other places and frankly have not been able to locate a true sample of C. gandiflora. Most of the samples found in Kashmir and Delhi which look like C. grandiflora do not bear fruits, flowers fall off when mature and number of leaflets varry from 7-11 (-13). This sterile hybrid is actually C. X tagliabuana, a hybrid between C. radicans and C. grandiflora. Both specimens at FOI (C. radicans as well as C. grandiflora) i think belong to this hybrid species, which is propagated by cuttings. Uploading C. x tagliabuana from Kashmir, very commonly growing in gardens and private houses. This hybrid species has a number of cultivars. This one from Kashmir is ‘Madam Galen’ Campsis × tagliabuana (Vis.) Rehder Syn: Tecoma × tagliabuana Vis. Thank you, Sir This information will clear all doubts in the minds. It is most misidentified genus. Everyone calls it Campsis grandiflora. I am going to insert a table in my forthcoming book regarding the different between these three species.

Bignoniaceae Week: Another Campsis x tagliabuana cultivar.: This cultivar of mine from Delhi I think is similar to one depicted at FOI under the name C. radicans. It again has deeply cleft calyx, corolla tube 2-3 times longer than calyx and leaflets 7-11 in number. The flowers are golgen yellow with darker centre. To me this appears to be another cultivar of C. x tagliabuana known as ‘Indian summer’. Your opinion on this please. Agree with u Sir

Bailey, Manual of Cultivated Plants) C. radicans with leaflets 9-11, pubescent beneath, calyx teeth short, corolla tube about 3 times as long as calyx, capsule beaked at apex and C. grandiflora with 7-9 leaflets, glabrous beneath, calyx cleft to the middle, corolla tube about 1 1/2 as long as capsule, and capsule obtuse at apex. Incidentally I have seen plenty of C. radicans in fruit in Kashmir and elsewhere with all characters, but most specimens assumed to be grandiflora have 7-11(-13) leaflets, glabrous beneath, corolla tube about twice as long as calyx, calyx cleft up to middle.
