Plumeria cv ‘Sunshine’
There is some question about this cultivar name. It is possible that it may be P. ‘Yellow Rose of Texas’ described in The Exotic Plumeria by Elizabeth H. Thornton and Sharon H. Thornton, it bears no resemblance to P. ‘Sunshine’ described in that same work. The specimen described here is in the University of Hawaii collection with the name ‘Sunshine’.
