Taxonomic Swap 32296 (Committed on 2018-05-29)

Fischer et al. (2004) follow Gentry ’ s recommendation ( Goldblatt and Gentry, 1979 ; Gentry, 1980 ) that Tecomaria should be included in Tecoma . However, our results indicate that Tecomaria is closer to Podranea , the only other African member of this clade.

As noted here there is plenty of evidence that the Plant List (and ITIS and USDA for that matter) incorrectly include this species in Tecoma. I agree with the reversion.
