Fast-growing, Plumeria obtusa is a small rounded tree boasting sweetly fragrant white flowers, across 7 cm, adorned with yellow throats and rounded petals that often are recurved at the tips.

Leathery, narrowly elliptic, shiny dark green leaves with rounded tips, 20-30cm long, are clustered near the tips of the thick, eshy, succulent branches.
