@Victor
Wouldn’t it be amazing to know what it smelled like?
@ATXJane I wonder if you can somehow get a hint of its flower aromas from close living Symplocos relatives???

One never knows for sure (rate of evolution & all), but in my fantasies, I’d be willing to choose that as a plausible alternative.
Now off to find its relatives!
