Plumeria is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. It contains seven or eight species of mainly
deciduous shrubs and small trees. They are native to Central America, Mexico,
the Caribbean, and South America as far south as Brazil but can be grown in
tropical and sub-tropical regions. Plumeria
is related to the Oleander, Nerium
oleander, and both possess an irritant, rather similar to that of Euphorbia. Contact with the sap may
irritate eyes and skin. Source
