Your photoes are seems to be B. purpurea, But real flowers I have seen or captured are absolutely white, not ant tinge of pink or purple. One thing I have observed is that there are only two fertile stamens present in photo. Another thing is that this plant is not a shrub and it is a medium sized tree. I should have to collect some specimen flowers to clear all the things. Let me give some time. Thanks to all.
