Sparsely hispid setose twig and branches clearly seen= G. stapfiana
G. fragrantissima = always glamorous twig and branches, also branches and twig often winged
Fruit colour is not species delimiting character, a range of variations are observed in the natural populations
But Pl see the original material, if the twig and branches are glabrous or with hairs, also branches winged or terete (rounded), but colour may vary
