Beautiful red frangipani flower

is a species of ornamental plant, the stem is large, the bottom resembles a tuber, the stem is not cambium, the roots can enlarge like tubers, the shape of the leaves is long, some are oval, pointed, small, and large, the color of the flowers varies. [2]

This flower is also called the desert rose. Because it comes from a dry area, this plant grows better in dry media conditions than too wet. It is called adenium because one of the places of origin of adenium is the Aden area (capital of Yemen). [3]

Indonesian people call adenium Japanese frangipani, perhaps associated with the stereotype that is circulating. For example, large fruits are usually called Bangkok, while small plants are usually called Japan. Therefore, if in the past there was a frangipani with a tall and large plant figure, then when there was a plant that was small but similar to a frangipani, it was called a Japanese frangipani.

The original frangipani is the name of a plant in the genus Plumeria, a genus of plants that is still in the same family as Adenium. Some differences between Adenium and Plumeria are as follows.

Adenium has a large stem with a bottom resembling a tuber, but the plant itself is small with small, long leaves. Adenium roots can also enlarge to resemble tubers.

Plumeria has a small, elongated stem without a tuber shape, with a large plant shape that can grow tall, with long and large leaves.
