Dear All, After reading Mr Vijayadas comments on the identify of Tecoma in question , we together did a bit of research on this issue and found that Tecoma fulva has winged rachis whereas the Tecoma x smithii is wingless. This is an obvious difference between these two taxa. Kindly see the link for Tecoma fulva http://www.meemelink.com/prints%20pages/12834.Bignoniaceae%20-%20Tecoma%20fulva.htm and for Tecoma x smithii for http://www.californiagardens.com/Plant_Pages/tecoma_smithii.htm
Finally we came to the conclusion that Devendra Ji's plant belongs to Tecoma fulva.
