Hello again,
 
this flowering shrub was at an abandoned and beautiful tea bungalow of a 'burra sahib' overlooking a beautiful valley and river in Samsing. It looked familiar as I must have seen it in the Doom Dooma Tea district or during my days in Upper Assam.
 
Grateful thanks.

... I am sure you will not forget this flower's ID ... enthusiasm maintained, it is only a matter of some time ... you will register most of the "common uncommon" plants. Thank you very much, Sushmita ji.
