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]
The genus Amphilophium was erected by Kunth in 1818, the type species being Amphilophium paniculatum , transferred from Bignonia . [2] Many other genera have since been synonymized with Amphilophium. [5]
