Hymenosporum is a plant genus in the family Pittosporaceae. It contains only one species, Hymenosporum flavum, commonly known as native frangipani, which is native to the rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests of New Guinea and in Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. Despite its common name, it is not closely related to the frangipani, but is related to the widespread genus Pittosporum.

Is it poisonous?
We have no record of Australian frangipani being toxic, poisonous or venomous. That is not proof that it is safe. Never eat, touch or handle a wild plant, mushroom or animal on the strength of an identification; ask someone qualified.
