"Frangipani  flowers: Plumeria rubra   are   cultivated   on   Molokai   Island   in   the   Hawaiian archipelago,  mainly  for  the  production  of  neck  garlands  ('leis) .  They  give  off  their fragrance early in the morning and at dusk. The fragrance is reminiscent of rose, citrus, and  cinnamon,  with  jasmine,  coconut  with  fruity  undertones,  and  has  motivated previous analytical studies..." - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cbdv.200890103

"Plumeria rubra, commonly called nosegay or frangipani, is a small rounded deciduous tree of the dogbane family that grows to 15-25' tall with a vase-shaped form, fleshy branches and a milky sap... Very fragrant 5-petaled flowers (to 4" wide) bloom in terminal clusters at the branch tips from late spring to fall. Flowers are pink to red. Elliptic dark green leaves (to 8-16" long) with undulate margins are spirally clustered at the stem ends. Fruits are cylindrical pods (to 8") that are rarely formed in cultivation.

Genus name honors Charles Plumier (1646-1704), French monk of the Franciscan order, botanist and traveller.

Common name of frangipani is from the name of a 16th century Italian nobleman who created a perfume with a similar scent.

Plumeria flowers are used to make leis and a scented oil in a number of Pacific islands including Hawaii.

Winter hardy to USDA Zones 10-12 where plants are best grown in rich, dry to medium moisture, well-drained loams in full sun. Avoid wet soils. In tropical areas, plants will bloom throughout much of the year. In areas where temperatures dip below 50 degrees F. during winter/dry season, plants will lose their leaves and stop blooming. In cooler climates, plants may be grown in containers with a well-drained sandy potting mix. Container plants must be overwintered indoors with reduced temperatures (50-55 degrees F) and slightly reduced watering. Easily propagated from stem cuttings."

Frangipani: deciduous, semi-succulent shrub or small tree with a broad crown; Can grow up to 12 meters tall in the wild but is usually smaller in cultivation. The boles of wild trees can be 25cm.

The latex found in the stems of the plant is toxic but not deadly unless taken in large quantities.

" Habitat : Dry, hot areas, Dry, rocky lowland. Rather dry, often rocky forest and mountain slopes, occasionally on plains or in brushy savannahs, usually at elevations of 500 - 1,000 metres, but can be found up to 1,500 metres.

Cultivation : Frangipani is a plant of hot, dry to moderate rainfall areas, at elevations up to 600 metres. Plants succeed in climates with a pronounced dry season, when they are deciduous and flower on the bare branches, as well as in more humid conditions when they will remain evergreen. One of the easiest of trees to grow, it is adaptable to most soil conditions though it prefers a fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Plants are very tolerant of salt-laden winds. Established plants are very salt tolerant. The soft, thick branches bleed profusely if broken.

Medicinal : Frangipani contains a number of medically active constituents and has been shown to be uterine stimulant, antifungal, antibacterial, antitumor, antiviral, analgesic, antispasmodic, and hypoglycaemic. The bark is abortifacient and purgative.

The plant contains fulvoplumierin, which has antibiotic activity and inhibits the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Applications : An essential oil is obtained from the flowers.

The flowers are used to scent coconut oil.

The wood is yellowish brown with faint purplish streaks, giving it a pleasing appearance. It is hard, compact and very fine textured. It takes a high polish and, although often quire small, is employed in some regions for articles of turnery.
