Hi

You are my last chance.. Please excuse my english, but..

My mother brought a plant from Greece. It is a shrublike now 1m high plant
with small very little blossoms green/white with a very strong smell at night
- I guess they only open at night. As far as I know, the greek call this
plant "ippotos" (knight), but I didn't found anything in any book or website.

Can anyone help identifying this one?

Because there is none.. this is no binary-group afair..
But I could take some and put them on a website somewhere.

many thanks.. so I was wrong searching european plants. I wonder why the
greek already have a word for it. Must have been brought to Greece then
quite early last century.

And what do I learn again? Never trust the place you find a plant these
days.. *sigh*

Try Logee's and some of the southern nurseries. Have you done a Google search?

Due to many rainy days, the plant had no blossoms at all. But now I was able
to take some pictures. The blossoms only open at night so I took them this
evening - excuse the quality.. They are approx. 2cm long, the leafs up to
15cm.
