Etymology
The name 'leelawadee' is derived from Thai, where 'lee' signifies 'sweet' or 'pleasant' and 'lawadee' refers to 'flower.' The plant itself is native to the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America and was later introduced to tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, including Southeast Asia. Its fragrant flowers have made it a symbol of beauty in many cultures, especially in Hawaiian and Thai traditions. The plant is known for its resilience and ability to thrive in poor soil, making it a favorite for gardens in tropical climates. Over time, the popularity of leelawadee has spread globally, leading to various cultivars and hybrids being developed to appeal to different aesthetic preferences.
