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.

For more information, check out the following links:
Native Frangipani - Hymenosporum flavum Association of Societies for Growing Australian Plants
Hymenosporum flavum at the Save Our Riverfront Bushland (SORB) website (PDF)
Lamington National Park Website The University of Queensland Check under "Flora of Lamington" species descriptions for information on Native Frangipani

There does exisit a dwarf Hymenosporum called 'Gold Nugget', but I don't know if it is available for sale in Qld (if anyone knows of a commerical grower or retailer in Qld, please get in touch!).
Where are all the flowers? Hymenosporum 'Gold Nugget' Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture

Possible Misspellings: frangipanni, frangpanni
