Hey Stuart,

Never heard of this specie before...looks tasty.

I'm not surprised that this sp is scented, as a lot of Apocynaceaes are scented.

Thanks for sharing.

Next on my indigenous hit list is Ancylobotrys petersiana and landolphia Kirkii

That's pretty cool...good luck. :)

I reckon you should ask Botanical gardens in KwaZulu Natal, if they have or know where to locate them...that's what i would do.
