We used to grow Pittosporum tobira in a pot in the greenhouse at the Cruick shank Garden. It looked very like your pic and was scented.

Maggi,
I agree too. When I see the first pictures i think it looks like Pittosporum tobira. We cultivate it in the nursery I work. The plants survived the last winter in pots, in an unheated plastic-house with -10 Celsius.

Thanks, Helen: but no, the leaves are not joined in the "hand" system that the Choisyia are.

I must admit I thought
Choisya
myself, until I realised the leaves were wrong. The flowers are so close to the
Choisyia
in appearance.
