Champa

Champa (or frangipani)

Champa indicates a floral incense. While there are several flowers that have the champa name (some of which are used for scent, while others are not),  the main flower indicated when an incense is named Champa  is plumeria or frangipani, a fragrant flowering shrub. Champa is sometimes conflated with Nag Champa, though they are different scents and different flowers. Nag Champa incense scents are based on champaca, which is a plant in the magnolia family.

Frangipani (also known as Plumeria) is a waxy, fragrant flower, akin to jasmine and gardenia, with fruity notes. It is generally the scent used if an incense is called Champa. Because of the Champa name, it gets conflated with Nag Champa, though Nag Champa generally uses Magnolia champaca - however, this is a general usage, and Nag Champas may use frangipani and/or other related floral scents according to the whim of the maker.
