The name “Singapore Graveyard Flower” was given when it was introduced to Hawaii from Singapore in 1931 by Harold Lyon. It is widely cultivated for its ornamental and fragrant flowers around the world. Plumeria Obtusa is not an endemic species in Malaysia but rather in Cambodia where the flowers are used as offerings to the deities. The flowers of this species are borne in clusters and have glossy leaves, obovate with blunt ends. For Plumeria Obtusa to bloom well, the soil condition must be dry to medium (6.6 to 7.5pH).
