It is difficult to confirm the species from a long shot. In Bauhinia one has to look at the arrangement of the flowering parts. Unless you provide these details / close up of flowers one cannot identify properly. The most important distinctive characters are : B.variegata has 3 central petals overlapping with 5 long stamens, whereas the B.purpurea has no overlapping petals but possess 3 long fertile stamens and 2 (or more) short ones!
