I remember one coolie dwelling which was dirtier and less habitable than the meanest stable, and all around it were hundreds upon hundreds of frangipanni blooms-the white and gold temple flowers of the East-giving forth of scent and color all that a flower is capable, to alleviate the miserable blot of human construction.
"Edge of the Jungle"
William Beebe
A dense thicket of frangipanni scents the air with the symbolic blossoms, shining like stars from grey-green boughs of sharp-cut leaves.
"Through the Malay Archipelago"
Emily Richings
A sylvan charm belongs even to this Sumatran township, for the wooden houses, with pointed roofs of dried palm-leaves, and broad eaves forming shady verandahs, stand far apart in flowery gardens, aflame with orange or scarlet cannas, and fragrant with golden-hearted frangipanni.
