Frangipani is a deciduous tree with thick, succulent branches, large leaves and clusters of fragrant pink, white or yellow flowers. Native to Mexico and Central America, it is widely grown in Indian temples and gardens, including Kerala, where it is called ezhachembakam.
In Indian folk practice the bark and flower have traditionally been used in external preparations for skin care, and the flowers are valued for their fragrance. The milky latex is irritant.
