Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An unusual new collection of what appears to be this very widespread species. These are grown from seed collected in the wild from a population of plants that were quite compact in habit with striking, deep green and round leaves, very unusual for this species and quite attractive. We have not seen the flowers but if it is decorum or even one of its close relatives, they should be white to pink, fragrant and quite showy. May even be a new species?
