Tecomanthe is a genus of 5 species of tropical or subtropical forest lianes in the family Bignoniaceae. They have attractive trumpet-like flowers and glossy leaves.

Species

• Tecomanthe dendrophylla (or T. venusta) grows in the Moluccas, throughout New Guinea, and east into New Britain and the Solomon Islands. The 11cm flowers are pink and creamy-yellow, ageing to a uniform magenta-pink.
• Tecomanthe hillii with pink flowers is confined to eastern Queensland.
• Tecomanthe speciosa is endemic to the Three Kings Islands off northern New Zealand. Only one plant exists in the wild, T. speciosa is now in cultivation, and is a rampant woody vine with cream flowers. It will grow in warm temperate climates, but is very sensitive to frost.
• Tecomanthe ternatensis has white flowers that turn pink as they age. Its natural range is from the Moluccas east to northwest New Guinea.
