"Fagraea berteriana" (sometimes as "F. berteroana"), commonly known as the Pua keni keni or Perfume Flower Tree, is a small spreading tree or a large shrub which grows in the sub-tropics, where temperatures are 10°C or more. It is native to the South Pacific. It has quad-angular branches, blunt tipped leaves, and fragrant 7 cm tubular shaped flowers of creamy white, which turn golden orange as the day longs. The flowers are popular for making "lei"s. The tree's name, in Hawaiokinaian, means "ten cent flower," which is the price the flower was once sold for.
