In absense of information in the required format it can be guessed to be Ochreinauclea missionis or Neonauclea purpurea. The location details would have ruled out Kadamba. Looking at the (longer) length of peduncle it can be the latter as Divakarji has guessed. Four genera have similar looking flowers, largest is Kadamba and smallest is Haldina. Details besides just a picture would have certainly helped the ID. Regards,
