We can't ignore the reputed databases GRIN and Kew Plant List. Both treat
Ervatamia as a synonym and Tabernaemontana as accepted name especially so
for T. divaricata. And also as var. pleno is relegated to synonymy of T.
divaricata, we have no choice other than just calling it as cultivar 'Flore
Pleno'

Please note that Dr. Almeida suggested this variety combination in 2001, and
lot has changed in last 10 years.
