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'.
