Plumeria rubra L. Sp. Pl. 1: 209. 1753
Type: Lectotype = "Nerium arboreum, folio maximo obtusiore, flore
incarnato" in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica, 2: 61, t. 185, 1725
Couldnt find the image of type.
ACUTIFOLIA is basically with reference to the leaf apex which is acute
in shape (making an angle less than 90 degree).
Thanks for sharing.

... agreed with meaning of acutifolia, Pankaj.
Please consider ... acute is sharp ... obtuse is blunt
