Hi everyone, it's a me, your boy from hot tropical region. I had this plant for a long time now and it does not look quite like Jasmine plant to me. Hope you guys could help with the identification. It has fragrant white flowers, and can grow to around 2 meters tall. Thanks.

Something about it reminds me of Clerodendrum: https://garden.org/plants/sear...

Could be Clerodendrum smithianum, or a similar species.

I have Clerodendrum thomsoniae in my garden, does not resemble this. This plant has flowers that look like Jasmine but the leaves are not similar.

Clerodendrum smithianum looks pretty, the flower bulbs resemble this a little but not quite similar. I will try to get the picture of the flowers.

Thanks Lin, I appreciate your help, and I think my plant looks a lot like the Clerodendrum wallichii! The leaves are a bit different but I guess it is just a growing phase thing. I will mark this as solved and in case you guys want to see the flower it just opened last night, here:
