Yes, adventitious roots it seems can happen in Plumeria... there is a nice discussion at this url: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/plumeria/msg052350052954.html
its an american group... they discuss things quite frankly and openly... you'll get a lot of information there and what to do, in case this is your own tree and you are worried about the stress son your tree that may have caused it. I often refer to this gardenweb for my questions, usually i find my answers about growing and practical needs of the plants... good luck. By the way I like the way you have shown the three areas in the same picture... it must have taken a little time to do this, how does one do it? but I would have like to have seen them in larger views esp of the first fuzzy one...
