Thai. Very uncommon color in frangipani. Similar to Salmon Pink but slightly smaller with rounded, heavily overlapping petals. Cream to light brown with salmon center and some darker veining. Salmon color intensity increases with the exposure to sunlight. In the shade the flower colors will be less intensive. Creamy brown; new foliage is dark brown fading to rich green sturdy branching. 3” light pink-brown with muted orange centers. Petals oval and heavily overlap. Keeping quality is fair to good. Slightly powdery musk scent. Medium-tall tree. Tends to abort inflos. Early and easy bloomer. Scent is not too impressive - soft floral smell.Small flowers but thick petals. Lots of branches and sweet scented. Smell like a combination between lime and rose. In Australia, there were two Salmon Brown. One has extremely dark leaves and a much bigger info and flower.
