There is a variegated leaved Plumeria pudica commonly called Golden Arrow or Gilded Spoon, as well as a pink flowering hybrid produced in Thailand called Sri Supakorn or Pink pudica.

Studies on latex proteins from Plumeria pudica have been studied in mice as a potential treatment for periodontitis and use as an antioxidant.[3]
