Common name: Narrow Petal Frangipani, Narrow Petal Plumeria
Botanical name:Plumeria x stenopetalaFamily:Apocynaceae (Oleander family)
Narrow Petal Frangipani is a cultivated hybrid
derived from a cross between Plumeria stenophylla and an unknown
parent. The tree grows mostly up to around 1.5-2 m tall and is
deciduous, therefore losing its leaves during long, dry periods. The
leaves of Narrow Petal Frangipani are long and narrow. The white
flowers have petals that are fused at the base to form a narrow tube
and five petals which are narrower than those of any other Frangipani,
and are widely spreading. Faint yellow coloration may be present in the
center of the flower. Flowers are very fragrant at night.
