I think it may be Mussaenda treutleri as per discussion under thread. 

Here are the keys between two closely related species from Flora of China:

5 (4)	Stems sericeous with appressed indument; stipules 5-8 × 4-5 mm; calyx lobes 4-11 mm.		19 M. macrophylla
+	Stems villous or hirsute with widely spreading trichomes; stipules 7-10 × 6-12 mm; calyx lobes 7-18 mm.		29 M. treutleri

Finally taking it as Mussaenda macrophylla Wall. as per POWO Holotype

Looks different from Mussaenda treutleri Stapf as per POWO Syntype.
