Is this a fragrant one?

Im sorry – i didnt check the fragrance.

It could be Barleria longiflora.

… is right, Barleria longiflora L.f.
Congrats …, you have captured an Indian Endemic.

Thank you all for the identification. The real credit goes to the Forest Way (http://www.theforestway.org/) for planting 100s of native species in the Tiruvanamalai area and espe the Arunachalam hill where this picture was taken.

Bush for ID, Hyderabad, NAW-MAY18-01 : 8 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4)
Kindly identify this bush with pale velvety leaves photographed in May 2018 at a residence in Hyderabad.
I dont have photographs of its white flowers but they resemble those of Millingtonia with a long tube.
I may have uploaded pictures of this species for ID earlier but i could not find my mail on efloraofindia.

This may be Barleria longiflora if not any ornamental.

Barleria longiflora is a not Ornamental plant; it is pure wild plant.

Thank you all. Yes it is Barleria longiflora. i found my earlier pictures on the efloraofindia page.
The earlier recording is from a scrub forest at the base of the Arunachala hill in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. This later recording is from my own garden where i have planted it from seeds collected in Tamil Nadu. 

Barleria longiflora L.f. is the correct name
