Default ID of shrub, please

We're trying to ID a shrub we saw in a garden down here yesterday. It's
small tree height and has several 'trunks' with a roughish grey bark. The
leaves are mid-green, oval and not at all leathery or tough looking. The
flowers are like one half of a long brush, white, bell shaped (as far as I
could see) and are carried upright on the stems, not hanging down as one
might expect. Anyone know what this might be?
This post is for uk.rec.gardening, not Garden Banter.


I doubt it's correct so try Osmanthus x burkwoodii or is a White form of the
Beauty Bush more like it? :-)
