Dear Sean
One of our students has just come in with a mystery plant. It is
evergreen, has broadly lanceolate leaves, no conspicuous veins but a
slight red tinge to the leaf margins. It is grown as a hedge about 3m
high. The telling feature are the flowers that are densley packed on a
very short stem in each leaf axil; they are white, pinkish on the
reverse, strongly perfumed, short tube opening to a four petalled star.
Sort of like a shrubby Jasmine? Got any clues?
