two new house plants

I've two new house plants both of which I've had before but put them out one summer in too much sun and they died.
They are: 1). Mitriostigma axillare (African Gardenia), 2). Murraya paniculata.
Might anyone please be kind enough to give me info on these? They are growing amongst my catts which have S-S/W exposure with sheer curtains. The Mitrostigma is loaded with buds and flowers which smell heavenly at night but the Murraya does not have any buds.
Any insight?
Thanks,
Lee

Search for information on PlantFiles: The Largest Plant Identification Reference Guide - Dave's Garden - I found some information there. I don't grow either, but hope this helps.

The Murraya you have is also known commonly as "Mock Orange" here in Australia, and in some parts is classed as a weed. I just looked down the back as there is a big one growing there (12 feet odd) but it is not in flower at the moment. If you go to Weeds Australia - Weed Identification - Murraya this site it will tell you all about it.

Cheers
Bernie

Murraya

Hey Berniep,
I frequently speak with some friends in Vic. Good to speak with another Aussie.
Where I live in Mississipi they'd never survive our winters so we must grow them inside during the cold months but I love the fragrance.
My question is: do they suffer from chlorisis as some plants do. If so, how do I prevent/correct it? Thanks, Lee
