is this morinda pubescens, it is lically called aisii
the leaves were soft and hairy, not smooth and shiny
the flowers were softly fragrant, but then I took these photographs at two in the afternoon, so i am not very sure if they are more fragrant when fresh in the morning
the fruit is about an inch in diameter
growing naturally at my place, zirad, alibaug

Morinda for sure. Please check the bracts. In M.pubescence the bracts
are bifid and deciduous. Fruits are small and seeds are not winged,
when compared to M.citrifolia.

Yes it does appear to be Morinda pubescens.
