Abstract

A new and distinct hybrid of the genus Tecoma is provided. This hybrid has been named ‘Mnstabe’ for a cultivar name. The new variety is the product of a deliberate cross of interspecific origin between two hybrid plants of the genus Tecoma made in 2006. Seeds from this cross were saved and planted and the new variety was selected from a block of these hybrid seedlings. The new variety displays a uniquely different flower color previously unavailable in the genus, is compact in size, and as well is generally sterile.
