P. Bahamaensis Plumeria
P. bahamaensis 2″ White with a small yellow center. A medium short tree. This species was found in the Bahamas. Bitter citrus scent. Similar to P. Montana and don’t have the thick waxy texture of P. Obtusa. They are fragrant, but not strongly. The evergreen leaves are obtuse and have thick veins protuberant on the leaf undersides like P. Obtusa, but they are narrower and more numerously arrayed on the stems than the broader ones of P. Obtusa. It is extinct in the wild. Very similar to P. Obtusa but far more compact in growth and dwarf in height. The habit is upright and neat with large pure white scented flowers. Compact habit, leaves have a nice texture, thick, rounded at the end, white flowers, slightly long petals, all white on the back. Very sweet fragrance. Looks like a miniature Plumeria obtusa. The plant is a compact, upright growing medium to large shrub with beautiful, large white perfumed flowers suited to pot culture. Cold tolerant.
