It could be Psilanthus wightianus (Coffea wightiana). 

P. wightianus is called as 'Mutti' in Tamil. Looks beautiful in full bloom and the flowers are very fragrant.

Dear sir,

Psilanthus wightianus has fragrant flowers and also the leaves are more chartaceous (paper-like).

But the picture I posted has thicker leaves (sub-coriaceous). Any other variety of it? So far Psilanthus wightianus (Wight & Arn.) J. Leroy alone reported from TN.

With this am attaching pictures of fragrant-flowers of a Psilanthus sp.

Kindly resolve this.
