'''''Plumeria''''' is a genus which is known by the common name '''Frangipani''' in some places.
'''''Plumeria''''' (common name '''Frangipani'''; [[syn.]] ''Himatanthus'' [[Willd.]] ex [[Roem.]] & [[Schult.]]) is a small genus of 7-8 handsome and useful species native to tropical and subtropical [[Americas]]. Open plants have leathery, pointed leaves at the ends of the branches. Flowers during warm seasons, and give clusters of large, showy, waxy flowers with a strong perfume. ''Plumeria'' is related to the Oleander, ''[[Oleander|Nerium oleander]]'', and both possess poisonous, milky sap, rather similar to that of ''[[Euphorbia]]''.
During warm periods, the plants will give strongly perfumed flowers, used in Hawaii to make leis.
