Summary The genus Tahehuia (Bignoniaceae) is now accepted, much as by Bentham and Hooker, in a very different sense than originally proposed by de Candolle. This paper traces its changing generic delimitations from artificial ones based on number of calyx lobes to biologically more meaningful ones based on vegetational as well as floral characteristics.
