Sorry, fragrance won't help Anurag ji, both *coreia* & *elliptica* are fragrant as per Thailand doc.
I would say you should rely more on Santhan Ji regarding the id of this species. My encounter with *Morinda* was only once. My points in favour of *elliptica* are - - no amount of pubescence can be seen in either in leaves or in flowers - corolla tube looks shorter, but I can be wrong here do you have stats? - leaf margin somewhat undulate - somewhat curved filaments (not a strong point) Now, you decide what species you have submitted.
