Common name: Chestnutleaf Trumpetbush
Botanical name: Tecoma castanifolia Family: Bignoniaceae (jacaranda family)
This is a close cousin of Yellow Bells, but
there is a big difference - Yellow Bells has compound leaves, whereas this one
has simple leaves. In the Yellow Bells, the clusters of flowers bend the
branch and are commonly seen beautifully hanging down. In Chestnutleaf
Trumpetbush, clusters of yellow bell-shaped flowers appear at the end of
branches which spread outwards. The leaves have serrated margins.
