I'm having trouble to find out the name for this korean Neofinetia falcata and would appreciate your help!

Korean name is "Heukgeumgang"
The japanese readings for the kanji are koku, kin/kou, gou
I just fail making a name out of this!
It is a beanleaf with ocean wave tsuke and upwards facing, nicely smelling,white flowers

At first glance I'd make a quick guess of Tamakongo. This would be based purely on the appearance of the plant and the accuracy/inaccuracy of my memory as I lie here in bed with my laptop, but I'll have to look into it further.

Tamakongo , that's what I thought at first,too. But the korean name for Tamakongo is Okgeumgang.

These are the kanji for Heukgeumgang 黒金剛

Satomi is currently offering a Kurokongou for sale on eBay. She writes in her description of it:

"Hybrid between AMAMI bean leaf (bean leaf variety of Amami furan) and TAMAKONGOU."
