Plumeria rubra is a deciduous plant species belonging to the genus Plumeria.^[4] Originally native to Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Venezuela, it has been widely cultivated in subtropical and tropical climates worldwide and is a popular garden and park plant, as well as being used in temples and cemeteries. It grows as a spreading tree to 7–8 m (23–26 ft) high and wide, and is flushed with fragrant flowers of shades of pink, white and yellow over the summer and autumn.

Its common names include frangipani,^[2] red paucipan,^[2] red-jasmine,^[2] red frangipani, common frangipani, temple tree,^[2] calachuchi,^[5] or simply plumeria. Despite its common name, the species is not a "true jasmine" and not of the genus Jasminum.
