Sorry rani I mean Billardiera

Thanks rani. Billardia looks as though it is correct here and I will agree with mutabilis as the range of that species fits. I will not call it that though as I have not enough images of the plant form

This looks like Billardiera, probably either Billardiera scandens or Billardiera mutabilis. Description or photos of the fruit and/or plant form would be helpful to distinguish which species it is. A key for the Billardiera genus can be found here if you have that information

Correas have fused sepals forming the 'cap' (also known as the calyx, maybe the word you were thinking of?). This flower has free sepals, which you can see in your photo. They're the same colour as the petals. but not as long.
