Hymenosporum
The Australian native plant commonly called "Native Frangipani" is not related to the frangipani we normally associate with the tropics, the Plumeria. Plumeria belongs to the Apocynaceae familay, while Hymenosporum flavum belongs to the the Pittosporaceae.
However, they share a superficial resemblence, and fragrant flowers.
