Hymenosporum flavum, common name native Frangipani, is the sole species within the genus Hymenosporum, and is closely related to the widespread genus Pittosporum. Despite its common name, it is not closely related to the frangipani. The species epithet flavum is Latin for yellow and indicates its flower colour.

It has dark green, glossy leaves which are usually around 10 cm long and 4 cm wide.
