Malpighia cocigera - a reasoned guess.

I am not sure of this plant being Malpighia coccigera because

the said plant has leaves with serrate mergins (spinuous) but

the posted plant seems to have entire leaf margin though some

leaves in the back drop seems to have serrate

margin.

Malpighia coccigera for sure.
Leaves of this plant are variable.
Even the color of flowers can be white or light pink.
