Could it be a species of Calycanthus, sweetshrub? It very much
resembles Calycanthus floridus, which is native to the U.S. and also
widely cultivated. In different cultivars the flowers are different
colors, from greenish to maroon. The flowers are fragrant and the
leaves are opposite.

It is a 2 m high bush in our garden in Germany and the blooms have a
strong smell of pineapple, mango and other tropical fruits.

Thanks!
