fragrant flowering plant in Guadeloupe

Dear All,
I came across this plant in Guadeloupe. It was growing on the border of a banana plantation. Leaves look a bit like an aspidistra. The flower had a glorious perfume resembling jasmine. I could not find this plant in the local botanical garden and no one could tell me what it might be.
Very grateful for any ideas!
Sue
