Y'know, something like that would be very useful if it were accurate, Paul. I can't remember which of the talks at the Extravaganza covered the relationships and relative place on the evolutionary scale of the various subfamilies and genera-- I think it was Theresa Bert's, do you remember, Bob? Anyway, it was hard to follow all of the details, and a chart hand-out would have been helpful. This one has members of different subfamilies on the same branch, though! That ain't right.......

Below text was extracted from other link, i hope it will help you. The most common cause of frangipanis dying is by rot. If a potted frangipani plant is watered too much or too often (especially in cooler weather), the soil will remain wet and the stem may start to rot at the base. This known as "wet feet". The rot will travel up the stem and probably end up killing the whole plant. Sometimes rot can start on a branch. Rot can be found in a stem or branch by noticing that it is more wrinkled, soft or black inside. Softness can be checked by squeezing the branch. Piercing a branch or stem will show if the inside contains sap. If the plant is healthy the white liquid will start to flow out and the cut will heal naturally, similar to when an animal or person has a cut and the blood clots.if the stem becomes wrinkled the tree is not well ¡V cease watering and spray leaves with AntiRot. If you notice spongy stems, remove the stem completely to the junction with a main branch. Thinning out 15 to 20 per cent of the canopy of your mature frangipani is good to do every few years; it opens up the branches, allows light in and reduces stem rot.

Thanks everyone for your input but having lived in Melbourne for 45 years believe me I know all about the weather. Sorry Lorraine if we were coming via that way I would pop in with one or two or three for you and all different colours. Pepino I dont want to bring fruit or vegetables across the border. I have posted down so many kilo's of plants the past year free to our GW Members so whats the difference with road travel by Aust Post and road travel by us. I have tried to find out before about it but your DPI web site does not help much. Having traveled the NSW/VIC border many times in my youth and sitting by the border eating a tin of ham so they would not bin it ( they said ) and seeing them dispose of a small amount of fruit that was then, this is now last time I went through there was no one on the border at all just a bin with a sign on it saying more or less dump your fruit before you go across the border But no sign saying please dispose of Frangipani cuttings. MM.

Rhondda, Like most other things, after flowering but before the new flowering wood grows. Otherwise you will not have any flowers next season. As a general rule by one third but as Frangipani is very hardy you could take more if you needed too for shape. All of your cuttings will strike if you lay them out on the ground and leave them to dry out for 2 to 3 weeks then plant or pot them up,
