No real ID for it. My guess is H.longifolia. This a little jewel that I have had since 2002. The blooms though are more like garlic then sweet. Maybe I washed off the scent? It was just watered when I took the photo.

I'm going to have to some editing Klahanie as I was told its H.shepherdii. I was also told to take a whiff after sunset.
I did. I can tell you its a stretch to call it Chocolate as the internet does-ha.
But its for sure not yet another Jasmine type scent.
It could be a hybrid too that's called Minibelle. Since the wild H,shepherdii is said to reach 40' lengths..my petite plant seems plenty minibelle.
I will never know. Hayward is not the hot and tropical India its native to. Perhaps even Minibelle is not when grown in the tropics.

These are very sweet flowers. Love the plant. Used to have it but not anymore.
