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.

The flowers continue to produce their sweet fragrance even after being picked, which is why they are traditionally used in making perfumes and ceremonial leis.
