Plumeria pudica is a small to medium-sized tree or shrub with slender, upright branches and glossy, dark green leaves.
Unlike many other plumeria species, its leaves are not leathery but rather thin and elongated, resembling fiddle leaves, hence the common name "Fiddle Leaf Plumeria."
The plant produces clusters of white, pinwheel-shaped flowers with a striking yellow center, emitting a sweet, intoxicating fragrance.
