50p - Charles Plumier<br />
The French botanist, Charles Plumier, after whom the genus Plumeria was named, was born in Marseilles. He became a Franciscan monk, devoting himself to the study of natural sciences, to mathematics and to painting. Louis XIV appointed Plumier Royal Botanist in 1693. The results of his various botanical expeditions were recorded in his many manuscripts containing species' descriptions and beautiful illustrations. Plumeria rubra is perhaps more familiar to people as Frangipani or Pagoda or Temple Tree.<br />
