Amphilophium

provided by wikipedia EN

Amphilophium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae, native to South America.[3] Amphilophium crucigerum (syn. Pithecoctenium crucigerum) has escaped from cultivation elsewhere,[3] and has become an invasive weed in Australia.[4]

Taxonomy

The genus Amphilophium was erected by Kunth in 1818, the type species being Amphilophium paniculatum, transferred from Bignonia.[5] Many other genera have since been synonymized with Amphilophium.[6]
