Etymology

Beaumontia comes from the family name Beaumont, which itself comes from old French parts beau ('beautiful') and mont ('mountain'). A helpful way to remember this vine is to picture its large white trumpet flowers making a 'beautiful mountain' of blooms on a wall, which matches the plant's showy, climbing habit.
