Posoqueria longiflora

This is a beautiful and fragrant small tree native to Colombia with a habitat below 1,000 feet. I have only seen one, a lone plant in the front yard of a vacant house that was eventually destroyed. I was not able to propagate by cuttings and they grow slowly by seed. Photographed in Barranquilla.
