It looks like a serissa but it’s growing in a hedge. Lots of suckers and shoots around the bases. Any ideas?
Thanks

Can you get better photos? Close up of the leaves? Close up of the bark? that could help someone more easily identify your tree

Re: Is this a serissa?
Those flowers are typical of Serrissa foetida. It also suckers profusely so that also matches.
i'd say you have Serissa.

Re: Is this a serissa?
Definitely looks like Serissa, particularly the flower. The internode length is really long on this one. If it smells like spew when you cut it / crush it then that will make it even more certain.
I think the current name for it is Serissa Japonica which has superseded Serissa Foetida for whatever reason...

If someone had named me foetida I'd want a name change

Re: Is this a serissa?
Thanks all,
And I can attest to the smell. They can change the name if they like, it still smells like spew.
Appreciate the assistance.
Cheers
