Término o frase en español: carboncillo
Se observó vegetación referenciada por sus nombres comunes tales como eucalipto, **carboncillo** y algunos individuos emergentes de palma de cera (Ceroxylon quindiuense) inmersos dentro de los cultivos.

This is in the high Andes of Colombia, if that helps.

carboncillo
Explicación:
Since the options are so different, it would not be accurate to draw a conclusion.

According to the two Wikipedia articles, both plants grow in South America. Tecoma stans is a common plant here in Southern California, which we call 'yellow bells' or 'yellow trumpet flower'. I haven't heard of 'yellow trumpetbush'.

You're probably right. What I ended up doing was to add a translator's note to the effect that both of these species are known as carboncillo in South America. Thanks for your help.

The links shows that it is a shrub/tree, so probably on the right track. The wiki gives a reference for English names. Yellow trumpetbush, among others
