That looks really lovely tamayok, thank you.
Does it have much fragrance?

The flowers are delicately scented, similar to the fragance of a lily but not as pronounced.

Sounds delightful,I haven't found any other references to this plant anywhere.
Do you know of any nurseries in Puerto Rica who might send cuttings abroad?

This is called Brides bouquet, ramo de novia is just the spanish name. I have two of these trees in my front yard that serve as breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the Pseudosphinx tetrio caterpillar. I also found out that the milky substance that leaves carry is poisonus which is actually what the caterpillar needs. Just a word of caution if you have small children as I do. This tree is very beautiful but if you don't want mean caterpillars because they do bite, or if you don't like moths which is what you later get as we all know. These trees are no right for you.

The original poster hasn't been here on Davesgarden since 2004 so most likely won't get your question.

I thought it was a Plumeria (pudica), by the shape of it's leaves...maybe bridal bouquet is it's common name?
