Pua keni keni

Filed Under Uncategorized | 

The Pua keni keni or Perfume Flower Tree (Fagraea berteriana, named F. berteroana by some) 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 leis. The tree’s name, in Hawaiian, means “ten cent flower,” which is the price the flower was once sold for.
