The first Plumeria tree was brought to Hawaii in 1860 by Dr. Wilhelm Hillebrand. Originally native to Central and South America, the Aztecs believed the Plumeria flower was a symbol of immortality; a crime for a common person to pick (or even stop to smell) that was punishable by death. French Botanist Charles Plumier first discovered the flower on his travels through the New World.?? Also commonly referred to as Fragipani after a sixteenth-century Italian Noble Marchese Frangipani made the intoxicating floral scent into a perfume.
