The leaves are thick and hearty. The flowers are clustered around the base of the leaves, close to the stem. The flowers have 4 petals and smell similar to a gardenia.
I found a bush with a small fragrant white flower that blooms in fall. Does anyone know what it is?
Sounds to me like it could be an Osmanthus. The variety I have at home--just starting to bloom--is commonly called 'sweet olive.'
See picture of one Osmanthus species in the link.
Reply:Autumn olive, Eleagnus umbellatum. Are the flowers tubular with the four petals at the tip or are the petals completely separate?
Reply:Some of the Viburnums bloom in the fall. There are a number of different species. It would help to know where you live.
