The flowers remind me of Trachelospermum jasminoides. That's in the family Apocynaceae.

A lead maybe before I go off searching more, look at Tabernaemontana amblyocarpa

It obviously isn't Tabernaemontana catharinensis but the similarity might help.

I searched for seed pods in the family, found something which looks like yours. Clicking on the view image button gives Dregea volubilis but flowers and form don't match. I can't get Flora d Brasil at the moment.

Very similar flower to Schubertia multiflora ..

I have a feeling this has been identified before Myriam, but how to find it. There's flowers and seed pods which look so similar in this family, but I haven't found them together.

I went off searching. Back later. Rolling on the floor laughing
