Hi there crazy kids...recently I weas at Leong Kwongs Nursery and purchased what I think "must" be a new Serissa Hybrid. It has flowers of both Serissa Serissoides and Serissa Foetida. Also , the bark is an unusual pinkish green like a mature fukien tea tree yet more pronounced. Have a look at the photos below and see for yourselves!!

By the way, in the middle photo, with all the rain we've had in Sydney lately, the bark had become bloated and opened up exposing what look like tendrils. To all you air layer experts out there, is the tree actually trying to perform and air layer?? Would it be worth submersing this small trunk in soil as a means of fattening it up?

Serissa Foetida some time grow exposed aerial roots and are used for growing as root over rock. When I googled Serissa foetida exposed roots, picture,many subjects came up with this same answer. if you google it their may be pictures there to view. looks like you bought a bonus, hey. :P Cheers! ;)
