Looks like a tiny Plumeria plant (Champa) to me. Although I would not recommend that but do you see milk sap when you gently scratch the main stem? Secondly a close up of the top will futher confirm the identity.

This somehow confirms that it is indeed Plumeria. But I am still not confident because I cannot se the main plant and your plant is very young. Plumeria flowers are quite beautiful and fragrant. What is the origin of this plant? Seems like it is a gift.

yup it is a plumeria (also called frangipani) .. given the leaves, i'd say it'll have white flowers with yellow centre slightly scented. its common here in pak :) just a guess :P

Many.I imported 50 diff varieties last year with 15 variegated ones.Variegated plumerias are extremely beautiful.

It is certainly not plumaria.
Plumaria is propagated from stem cuttings which are much thicker than the stem of this seedling
The only worth growing Pulmaria is the heavenly fragrant one (white with yellow throat flower).

Plumeria is also grown from seeds,i guess.

I love the variegated ones.There are 20-30 varieties and they are extremely beautiful even when not in flower.

I still think it is Plumeria because, the leaves, the sprouting leaves style, and secondly as the original poster replied that it does have a milk sap- all go in favour of Plumeria. It can grow from seeds and who knows it came from tissue culture? The original poster hasn't given any information.

Anyways, New year wishes to all readers.
