Plumeria alba Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1:210. 1753.

"Habitat in Jamaica." RCN: 1732.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Commelin, Hort. Med. Amstelod. Pl. Rar. 2: 47, t. 24. 1701.

Current name: Plumeria alba L. ( Apocynaceae).

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 .
