Plumeria albaLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1:210. 1753.
"Habitat in Jamaica." RCN: 1732.
Type not designated.
Original material: [icon] in Commelin, Hort. Med. Amstelod. Pl. Rar. 2: 47, t. 24. 1701.
Note:Wijnands ( Bot. Commelins: 44. 1983) discussed the name in detail and concluded that it should be lectotypified by a Plumier plate that did not feature in the protologue. This cannot be accepted as a neotypification because original material is in existence, though apparently identifiable as P. rubra.
