The flower has five lobed sepals and a bell or funnel-shaped corolla of five petals yellow in most species. The fruit is a schizocarp containing two to four seeds.

In lab analyses Allamanda species have yielded several chemical compounds including iridoid lactones such as allamandin plumericin and plumierides. Plumericin particularly was demonstrated to be a highly potent NF-κB inhibitor with anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo while its structurally related derivatives plumierdin plumeridoid C and allamandicin did not have activity. The lignan pinoresinol and coumarins such as scopoletin and scoparone have been isolated from A. schottii.
