Hybrid
Botanical background
Definition: The results of a cross between two different species or well-marked varieties within a species. Hybrids grown in a garden situation will not breed true to form from their own seed.
How it applies to plumeria: Hybrid provides botanical context for understanding plumeria structure, classification, or plant processes. These terms help describe what part of the plant is being observed and why it matters in a record.
What to look for: Use botanical terms to make descriptions more precise, then connect them back to visible plumeria traits such as leaves, stems, flowers, roots, seed pods, or growth habit.
Identification note: This term is one clue. A plumeria should be compared using all available traits, photos, source history, and growing context rather than a single characteristic.
