This is a type of Frangipani but grows more shrub-like and is evergreen and is said to be drought tolerant and thrives on neglect.

I bought a potted one at the Red Barn on Sunday, still have to plant it in the garden where we want to have it as a screen. It can be pruned back or let alone and will grow up to about 5 meters tall. The lady I bought it from had some large potted ones that hadn't been pruned and they were fantastic, leafy right from the bottom up. I just got one of the small one, several stems in the pot and the tallest is 76cm tall, so not really too small.
