A large family of tropical and subtropical flowering plants that includes woody vines, shrubs, and trees, many with showy trumpet-shaped flowers.
From the genus Bignonia plus the Latin suffix '-aceae,' used in botanical taxonomy to denote a plant family; the family name systematically follows from the type genus.
The Bignoniaceae family includes over 650 species across 120 genera, making it one of the most diverse and geographically widespread plant families in tropical regions—yet most people have never heard of it despite seeing its flowers in gardens worldwide.
