genusgenusTropical flowering trees known for their highly fragrant, spiral-shaped blooms that emerge in clusters at branch tips. These plants have thick, elongated leaves and produce a milky sap throughout their structure.
Etymology
The genus was named after Charles Plumier, a 17th-century French botanist and explorer who documented many plant species in the Caribbean islands.
