Thank you Leuba & Viv! Viv the leaves of that pittosporum look much more leathery, the leaves on this plant were quite soft & fleshy. Leuba, that link is fantastic, I'll certainly get some use out of it! Thank you very much to both of you :)

Have a look at these Leanne - see if any of these fit the description of your plant

...something makes me think "Mangrove" more than Pittosporum, given where it is growing, thickness of the leaves and the white flower buds. Will check again - Viv might be right. The arrangement of the leaves has got me wondering...
