As of the current knowledge, there are around 20 to 25 recognized Plumeria species. New species may still be discovered and named as botanical explorations continue, and taxonomic studies shed light on genetic diversity within the genus. The number of recognized Plumeria species may change over time as new research and discoveries occur. Each species […]
